ND filters explained for novices
There have been several threads lately about ND filters, largely following the series of superb landscapes posted. Plenty of advice about which manufacturer is best and why, but is there anywhere someone can point first time ND filter users like me at. I'd like to take one with me travelling next...

ND filters explained for novices
I think it is something like this... When talking about 'stops' in respect of shutter speed, each movement of one-stop is effectively achieved by halving or doubling the shutter speed in question... the camera will select shutter speeds along a continuum with the fastest being 1/8000th of a second ...

ND filters explained for novices
My apologies for not concentrating when I probably should have been in bed! I certainly meant no offense. :oops: Must pay attention. Must try harder. Best, Myles No offence taken:D I wasn't sure if I was getting a duff reading on the K-r or not as there seemed to be surprise at the a...

ND filters explained for novices
I decided it might be useful to have one of these fairly extreme neutral density filters too. I ruled out Lee due to cost. I decided on a standard screw in type filter but even these are generally quite pricey. The double polariser idea sounded interesting but thought getting repeatable results migh...

ND filters explained for novices
I have a couple of the 7 day shop ND filters and I don't think they are bad at all considering the cost. Don't buy these if you are expecting them to compete with a Lee big stopper in terms of the amount of light they will effectively exclude. If you turn them too far, you will get dark banding, b...

red filter
In black and white photography, a red filter will generally darken blue skies, lighten reds and inrease contrast. In digital, you will to use the black and white conversion software to change the red image.

OMG 'int LightRoom brilliant :D
Set up presets for your fave settings. Colour temp / tint / clarity / NR / process version are on mine. You can download to a main location and a backup at the same time. Export and all the options are great. Upscaling works really well - 10MB images printed at A3+.... Where do I stop, I'd abso...

Pentax K-r been returned.
After a week of shutter problems, it remained in the open position, I have today got a refund. I no longer have a K-r. I am hoping that by next year Ricoh/Pentax will have it all sorted and I can look for another. In the meantime, I have the following to sell as they are now surplus to rquirement...

Graduated N.D. filters, advice sought.
You can get a set of lens hoods to fit on the Cokin square filter holders. or a very expensive bellows type.

Graduated N.D. filters, advice sought.
I bought a cokin 'a' system second hand from my local (now closed) camera shop for about £10 about 7 years ago for use with my Olympus C750 compact - I think it works with lenses up to a 77mm filter thread but would have to check the exact size as my memory is not always great. The 'p' system cos...

Graduated N.D. filters, advice sought.
Thanks for the advice guys. I already have an old Cokin 'A' system from film days so I think I'll start by getting a grad filter to suit and a hood.

Graduated N.D. filters, advice sought.
SRS have one of ...any good? And 7dayshop has one of these; http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?&products_id=111258 It looks like the Hama one, and in fact they (7dayshop) seem to sell a lot of Hama kit cheaply, so who knows, might be identical? In any event, cheap and worth a...

Graduated N.D. filters, advice sought.
I'm thinking of getting an N.D. grad or two to improve skies in landscapes. I'm not sure whether to go for round or square. I like the idea of square as you can adjust the position of the grad line and can choose soft or hard transition. On the other hand, the round ones allow use of a lens hood. Hi...

Removal of Anti-Aliasing Filter
OK, I don't want this to be seen as a non-Pentax related thread, but this is the first time (of which I am aware) that a manufacturer has offered a camera without an AA filter: Nikon engineers have developed a unique alternative for those seeking the ultimate in definition. The D800E incorporates a...
