Just testing my Haida 10 stop ND filter
I bought one a while back, but haven't used it much yet. What was the white balance setting on the camera for that shot? Andrew

Just testing my Haida 10 stop ND filter
I see these are made of schott glass same as b+w - are they supposed o be as good as b+w? - if so - very good price Just read a thread on it on talkphotography forum a while back Carl and thought it worth a punt. Time will tell, although I haven't a B&W to compare it with

Just testing my Haida 10 stop ND filter
Just tried my cheapie ND1000 filter from Roxsen which on closer inspection I see to be the Camdiox brand although this wasn't specified in their ebay advert. It was £12 for 67mm size. Mechanically is in a nice ultraslim glass format with decent aluminium filter thread and decent plastic box. Y...

Last Rays over Croydon
OK, not quite the Croydon shots you might expect, but these are all taken at the southern reaches of the Borough. I was let out late a couple of weeks ago, and the long fine evenings allowed me to catch these scenes before heading back to the car. First one taken in Happy Valley (from a se...

Do We Need HDR?
btw I love magpie mine - was there a few months back and snow was 18 inches deep in parts...thought I wasn't going to make it there. Cheers Mike, I think Magpie Mine would make a great location at sunrise or sunset in the depths of Winter, especially with snow on the ground. It's one of my 'must do...

York Railway Museum-Mallard 75
Just got back from visiting the museum to see the Mallards. A great presentation. Many hundreds of visitors there as you would expect. Never seen so many cameras inside one building at the same time.

Cibachrome trio
Ah, Cibachrome. That brings back memories. Nice images, pity the scans don't do them justice. Have you tried scanning the original slides instead?

Glastonbury 2013 performances
Excellent shots. I was in the audience for one of the acts you photographed, if I've recognised The XX. We were near the back, so I didn't really get a good look at what was happening on the stage. I didn't end up taking my Pentax SLR on site, but I did miss it from time to time, like at PIL. I e...

London 24 hour shoot
Did anyone else from here take part in the Advanced Photographer mag 24 hour shoot in London a couple of weekends back? It's been a long while since I've been able to do anything other than fit a few photos around the edges of everything else, so I thoroughly enjoyed getting immersed for a while. ...

Focus stacking a wasp nest
When my wife found this lovely little wasp nest, less than 3 cm diameter, I thought it would be a good subject to experiment on with focus stacking. It's my first try: Above is the result of stacking just 3 frames, each separated by 1/4 inch (6.35mm), with CombineZP Focus Stack. Each frame w...

Grasmere Dusk
Here are the three main categories of light on any landscape. Light Quality – Is the light soft (e.g. overcast), or harsh (e.g. sunny)? Light Direction – Where is the light coming from? Is it coming from the side of the subject, the front, or the back of the subject? Light Temperatu...

Streets of Brass
I love the lens - got it a couple of weeks ago from SRS. Its already been out doing street photography in Newcastle and a steam train shoot in York. Now I'm having to get back in practise using a fixed focal length lens just like I did in my film camera days. I've been spoiled far too long using ...

Thanks for feedback guys. Very nice Alan and I quite like #3 which I'd like to see, say, at A3 size in a frame. Can I ask what lens etc. As it happens, I didn't like #3, but it is growing on me. They were taken as follows: #1 18mm with the 18-135 @ f10 #2 24mm with Samsung version of the 12-2...
