I like your eye Shane. This is rapidly becoming a spot to see some great photography.

Hi Shane,

That beach has proven to be productive for you of late for some spectacular images
and these certainly are no exception.

Nice shots Shane , particularly the first one .
Do you use a ND filter to get the long exposure or was it just getting dark ?

Thanks
Zane

yes had two filters on a polarizer and nd 8 filter. thanks

Thats what I've been using Shane but some times is not enough particularly when i want to use a wide ish aperture so I've ordered a variable ( 2 to 8 stops ) ND made by Light Craft .
Should do the trick.

Thanks
Zane

Octane (Humayun) · #15 22-05-2011, 01:13 PM

Zane,

How thick is the ring on the variable system? If it's any more than 1cm, then, you will see the ring of the filter on your wide-angled lenses.

I have a variable system with a built-in warming polariser and it's about 1.5 cm thick. On my 17-40mm lens, I have to zoom to 24mm before the ring of the filter is not visible in my images. I think I paid extra and bought the thin version, too.

Unfortunately, there's no way around it, other than using hand-held filters or a filter holding system with large format neutral density filters.

This is an expensive hobby.

i wonder has anyone you'd car window tint before as a nd filter

Octane (Humayun) · #17 22-05-2011, 09:46 PM

Good photographic neutral density filters are just that -- neutral. That is to say, they don't leave tints or casts in your images.

I don't think car tinting film is built to the same exacting tolerances of the best filter makers.

Hi H
The light Craft NDs are made a bit larger so the 77mm one has 82mm glass . So it should be ok .

Thanks
Zane
