Lee filters ..... educate me about them please
Discussion
Ok I don't need the very basics, I know generally what they do, but what I need to know is which actual ones are the recommended ones for getting results like this ...
I've got an opportunity to get a voucher worth €500 through work so I'm thinking of getting it for a camera shop and adding a few bob to it if necessary and getting a set of filters but every review I read seems to give different opinions on which ones to get.
So what's do you reckon I should look at ....

That image could be a combination of graduated ND filters (to stop down the sky) a Big Stopper (to stop down the whole scene) and some Lightroom/Photoshop work.
There could even be some colour correction filters, some reverse grads it's hard to say. Lee do some beginner packs that might be helpful for you to look into. Also, when thinking about hoods, lens filters etc.. make sure you consider how many lenses you have and their thread size.

Have a look at the Karl Taylor website, he sells packs of Lee Filters and explained them, and also sells individual filters.
If you sign up to his education program (I think £12 per month IIRC) you will get 15% discount, then cancel your subscription any time.
Personally I’d consider the Big Stopper (10 stop) and little stopper ( 6 stop) and the circular polariser, and possibly a ND grad for the sky, plus holder of course.
Enjoy your voucher

Lee or nisi...
Nisi kit comes with 6 and 10 stop Nd plus polariser and a 3 stop grad pretty much everything you need and the 10 stop is more neutral than lee's
I use my 6 more than 10 because in low/peak light I find 10 stretches exposure times too much.
But the image in the op is totes 10 stop with a grad on too
