Polarising filters at night?
I have manged to purchase a B+W Circ polarising filter for cheap and am now going to test it out. I have used polarisers in the day before and understand how they work under these conditions. Should I used my polariser at night? Does anyone have comparisons of shots with/without polarisers attach...

Polarising filters at night?
they are useful at night if your goal is to shoot from inside a well lit building, in which case you could cut glare off the inside buildings windows. I guess if you were trying to shoot the inside of a building from the outside and needed to remove some glare... either way you are adding a 2 st...

Photographic Value Pack !
Lens Cloth & Grey Card - added. Thanks for the suggestions ! Lens hoods - screw into the filter thread and come in different sizes so should fit any lense of that filter size. Manixzero - thanks for the tip but I've lived in Shanghai for the last 15 years and know all the places to go to here ...

Photographic Value Pack !
I too would skip the Tubes and hoods as they are cheap to get here anyway but a ring light for lenses would be useful. The ting is that about half of the stuff I got already. Don't know but maybe set up a customisable box for a set price and then give a LONG list of items that can go in there and ...

Photographic Value Pack !
Some good ideas here guys ! I don't think I can be toooo flexible as that would mean horrendous stock levels but I'm coming around to maybe 2 or 3 packs based on different technicalities (macro, flash, landscape etc.). What I'm trying to do is put together a package where people will look at i...

Photographers stop and search to be cut, says Home Secretary
It'll take some time for this to filter down to PCSOs methinks! ACPO do not have a good reputation in rank and file Police circles from what I've read, as they're alleged to be more interested in chasing promotion than they are in proper policing.

grad filter & Neutral Density
I have around £75 to spend on Amazon and I am thinking of a Graduated Filter and Neural Density filter. I have noticed there seems to be a few new/different ones on the market these days, other than the old cokin type. Can any one suggest what I should try and buy and what I should try and avoid....

Street portraits of strangers
I've actually found people have aproached me and asked me to take their picture, no idea why since they're never going to see the results. In Spain pros have an expression which translates as 'use the French filter' meaning just pretend to do it.

Shooting Black & White
Some help please I have searched the dreaded instruction book for the K5 and cannot find the answer to taking black & white (mono). In the digital filter set up you can choose some filters in set up but not mono. The set up for in camera post shot PP, does have mono, but does that mean you have t...

Shooting Black & White
@ISO I am also looking for B/W photographic direct in the K-5 and not afterwards converting the RAW Format. Has this camera such a filter or is it impossible? Regards Gérard

What lens filter would you recommend for Tamron SP90 Macro.

Imho, none! You don't need filters for macro photography. Well, a circular polariser, perhaps, for special objects. Any extra glass in front of the lens will degrade IQ. In harsh environment, you may consider a UV filter for protection.

I was'nt too sure about a poloriser especially as you say it would degrade the IQ. I should get something for protection and a UV would do the trick.

...but a polariser could be useful to control reflections from shiny surfaces...

Lens Filter
Macro lenses are built for ultimate sharpness .. personally I would never use something that is going to affect that.

I wouldn't bother using one to protect the lens - the front element on the Tamron 90 is deeply recessed and therefore already well protected, especially when the hood is in place.

I'm not sure you'd see any quality difference at screen resolution, but you might pick up any changes to saturation and the reflections from the petals and leaves.

I wrote to them a couple of weeks ago after their "special" on polarisers. It was woeful - completely inaccurate information and lots of "physics" that was so wrong that it actually would have hindered people trying to work out what to do with a filter. The worst of the two articles was by Matt Gall...

I've done a bit of motorsport as a marshal so I know what to expect. You will need an all weather bag and a lens cloth handy at all times. For once you might want to fit the UV filter as the cars have a habit of firing gravel about on forest stages. As for lenses I'd probably want either my ol...
