Since the effect of a graduated filter is also focal length and to a
degree aperture dependant, it's pretty hard to judge the effect
(although I admit to using them at times as well).
With shorter focal lengths, as long as you use fairly soft-edged
filters with a 1-stop gradation you can't screw things up too much.
With longer focal length you can use harder edged filters for similar effects.
