Shooting through angled glass.
I would try two things. First use a ND2 (or higher if possible) filter for getting extra contrast and then use a rubber lens hood that you an put flush to the window, this may help with the angling and the reflections. However, the glass you are shooting through is under stress and this will probab...

Shooting through angled glass.
An ND filter simply reduces the overall amount of light, so has no effect on contrast. However, the glass is the problem and it may be scratched and dirty and will certainly be an optical mess. So, wide apertures will defocus the glass and keeping the camera wello away from touching the plane wil...

Shooting through angled glass.
Thanks John, Yves and SmutjeUK for the replies! As it's a commercial airliner, opening the window is not an option. The windows are generally quite clean, new and fairly blemish free, it's the angle and the thickness of the glass (about 3/4 of an inch) that seems to cause the most problems. It's...

Shooting through angled glass.
Thanks for the suggestions! I have had a UV filter on the lens which I can't see makes any difference. As I said, the windows filter UV anyway.I think John is right that I should remove it. I like the prism idea but can't see it would be practical! I think adding more glass to the problem is probab...

Life without Photoshop...
Maybe the problem is thinking that things need to be upgraded? What is wrong with Photoshop CS3? I use CS2 routinely and have no particular wish at this moment to upgrade it as it does everything I need it to. CS3 is such a powerful tool I would suggest trying to learn how to exploit it. Using it...

polariser filter
quick question.. some people use both a polariser and an nd filter at the same time which goes on the lens first?

polariser filter
I am not sure f it really matters but I would always use the Polariser first (nearest to the lens) and then the ND filter. The only time I would change this is when I would have a grad filter (going from clear to Colour or ND) as any movement with the polariser will also move the grad filter and y...

Raynox 250 in addition to a macro lens
Does the Raynox 250 fit the DFA100? The Raynox spec says it fits filter size 52-67mm, the DFA 100 is 49mm.

Raynox 250 in addition to a macro lens
Nice photos Mike - certainly convincing. I think I will stump up some of my pocket money ;) My macro lens is the Pentax-A f2.8 100mm so I think it has a 58mm filter thread. Should be ok for the Raynox.

Scanning Kodachrome
I believe the Minolta scanners use an infrared channel to detect dust and scratches on the film surface. Unfortunately the unique composition of Kodachrome tends to absorb the infrared so affects the ability to perform ICE. A friend of mind who had to 'restore' some of his father's old images rec...

Help! Murder! Polis!...
too late to help you now, but the battle of the dust is one we've all faced. I use three things.. I duct tape large furnace filters to those big square fans and set them up to pull air through the filter and blow air onto the subject to prevent dust from settling. I also run a humidifier before s...

Shooting a birthday event - What camera settings please?
Thanks man. I appreciate. Will do as adsive - take test shot at venue etc. As per White Balance, I usually just see the type of lighting been used on the inside and set accordingly or will I be better off using "Flash" as setting to WB? While balance with flash is a tough one. Personally I...
