Build yourself an ND Filter
I can't help feeling an ND filter or two would be cheaper than two CPLs! But if anyone would care to try it I'll be happy to see the results.:lol:

If you're nervous about it you can buy these pre-built :) Just Google variable ND filter. Singh Ray do an expensive one, but there are also cheapo ebay ones around.

Build yourself an ND Filter
If I may chime in, I tried this, but it depends amazingly on the quality of the PL filters as at maximum density, any colour cast of the filters becomes very amplified. I spent about £70 on the PLs and still got a ruddy/brown cast. I changed it for two Tiffen Titanium 1.2 ND filters and get about t...

Build yourself an ND Filter
A more constructive(?) way to use 2 polarising filters is to place between 2 said filters an object of clear, moulded plastic. Contra-rotate the filters until cross-polarisation occurs. Then will be revealed stress patterns formed within the object during the moulding process. It's Fun!! Below, a...

Newbie question about raw format
but they may have never got the WB wrong (or at least will admit to it). I get the WB "wrong" all the time, but quite deliberately so, so maybe it isn't wrong at all. The concept of WB is to produce a "correct" colour temperature, but I'm in the business of producing images, not scientific white...

Anyone else desperate for better weather to test their new 50-150 lens?!
I have a roll of Ilford SFX and matched filter awaiting clearer skies. I don't think quasi-infra red photography would be quite as dramatic with dull grey clouds.

Sunny 16 :)
Shooting infra-red has made it clear why the shutter speeds are as they are on my KX. I hadn't previously realised that each click of the dial equates to a stop until I found that in order to apply the required seven stops of compensation for the IR filter I had to turn the shutter speed down seven ...

Circular polariser and noise
hahaha It wasn't quite arc welding Gary. I managed to link the sample photos and I hope it will make more sense. 1. shot with cpol 2. shot with uv filter

apologies
Stephen, it shows character to apologize. I have to get Gerri, or an assistant on commercial projects to run interference for me, so to speak in order to minimize the risk of offending people. Some people are blessed with diplomatic skills, and some of us have no filter between brain and mouth. ...

Red Snapper Ballhead question
Well, after some more playing it seems that the larger knob should be used to control friction with the smaller one locking the ball. I found that if I tried it the other way around the camera had a tendency to flop over when you unlocked it, this way there's still enough friction to avoid that. ...

The utter shame of it
:lol: How very embarrasing... Sort-of related : I went to the Muybridge exhibition at the Tate yesterday, and it was interesting to think that I was looking at 150-yeard old photos which if they were taken today would be laughed off Flickr... although you'd probably need a 20-stop filter to get...

Who is responsible?
It's down to keeping things in proportion I think. If I sell a filter,value £3 let's say, the first class post is fine. If it gets lost, it's no big deal to refund. If I sell a K20D and it's £450 then it needs Special Delivery and the £21.50 or so that it costs will be cheaper than taking the ris...

HELP PLEASE! What would be a fair value of this set?
I could do with some help please. A friend of mine has just been made redundant and needs every penny he can get but would like to keep up his photography. Having bought my Samsung GX-10 set when I got my K-5 in December he put his ‘old’ and well used Pentax ME Super in ‘storage’. Now, just being ...
