ND Grad kits - what to go for
I started with a set of Cokin P ND grads and, like many others, found they gave a very strong magenta cast when stacked. It's a pain to remove the cast in post because it's graduated across the image. It isn't like removing a cast that's equal in intensity across a whole image - you have to fade the...

ND Grad kits - what to go for
I am going to get a set at the end of the month and am now pretty much set on getting the Hitech/ Formatt filters - they seems to be the best value for ones with little colour cast (Lee filters are just too far out of my budget!). One question is whether or not to buy a slot-in type circular pol...

removing colour cast
You don't say whether this involves an ND grad, but I guess it does, since that's the most difficult case. You'll need a package which allows you to apply a graduated tint to the image (like ND grad in software - which Lightroom does). Basically it would have to be a layer which matches the "ND ...

In Photoshop CS and later, Photo Filters might be an easy route. Just dial in the appropriate amopunt of colour compensating filter.

removing colour cast
What software do you've? if you've photoshop i've another option that you can use. Duplicate the layer and use the filter average blur. The layer will be on tone, it's the average colour of your photo. Now open a levels or curves as a layer adjustment and use the middle grey sampler on the ave...

Anyone else use one of these? If so what have you found to be the most effective applications for it? I bought a B&W one last week and I managed to get this shot with a 62 second exposure. I'm really pleased with the way it not only smooths out the water ripples, but also allows a still reflectio...

Dunno, I've had a Lee ND10 Big Stopper on order with WarehouseExpress for several weeks. Its back-ordered with a 20 week delivery.

I believe is the man to talk to :) We had a wee chat via Flickr earlier :-) They are quite good fun. B&W is cheaper and easier to get than the Lee. Lee look a wonderful system for uwa but a tad expensive, especially if you are prone to falling off the edge of crags.

I have the B&W 10 stop but I've only used it a couple of times so far - I think that they're great for coastal shots, especially if you like the "misty" effect than seems popular now. I'm not criticising your shot, I like it, the 10stop creates a nice sky but the problem with reflections is that...

Should be about the same, but that assumes that your ME Super shutter speeds are still accurate. Also, as the response curves are different for digital and film you might not get exactly the same density. I would do some calibration shots before you go to see what you need to adjust to get the re...

Thanks John, I will be doing Bulb exposures withg a stop watch so shutter speeds on the ME Super won't be an issue. I don't have any time now to shoot off a roll and get it developed and assessed, it was a last minute idea. Do you think the safest way would be to bracket above and below?

Reciprocity failure is something else that I have read about but have no knowledge of. This made me ask the question about film vs. digital exposure times as I read this may only affect film.

Film suffers from reciprocity failure. An indicated exposure in excess of 1 second may have to be much. much more, unfortunately depending on the film used. I would try metered exposure, then +1 and +2 stops. Also, if using slide film, bear in m ind if you want the final image to look dark or not...

If you go to the Ilford website, you cab download the specsheet for FP4. Page 2 gives the exposure compensation factors for times of longer than 1/2 sec. For instance if the measured time is 20 secs then you need to expose for 80 secs! http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/2010712125850702.pdf K...

But why do you need that information? So why do you care where the shot is taken, what the advantages of knowing? Because I want to know. Also I can have the choice to accurately place the photo on a map if I want. I could also quickly filter images from the same location taken over time and...
