Cost effective Circular Polariser Options?
Thanks guys, lots to mull over there. Yeah the Marumi's featured well but they seem quite a bit more expensive now, maybe because of it?! There was a supplementary article follow up in which the Hoya HD was tested along with a few other recent releases at the time, (the Hoya did ok, but no...

also if using wide or ultra wide lens you need the slim bodied version of the filter to avoid vignetting and Marumi are very slim

You can set to B and W filter on my K-30 before you take a photo. Can't see why the K-5 would be any different.

There is a Monochrome digital filter. Have a look at the PU/EPZ reviews and there are shots with all the digital filters for each and every model.

But for it to remain B&W you need to soot in JPEG, when you add a filter to a RAW file it is ignored when you import it and it converts the image back to colour.

Gimp
Hello, I've been messing around with Gimp for the first time today, and I'm amazed at the difference the Unsharp Mask filter makes. I've only tried it on jpegs I've already tweaked slightly with Picasa, but every one I've tried has shown improvement after Unsharp Mask filter. The auto white...

digitally produced infrared
Hi, Have been trying out in paintshop pro making some of my images into infrared ones digitally. Have put them all together into a slideshow in lightroom. Pictures were taken on various cameras,including a K10d, even some on a 3mb compact years and years ago! Just wondering about thoughts on them,...

Brian, I've yet to see s digitally processed visible light shot that looks truely convincing as IR. It similar to taking the RED channel & processing it to give you a full colour image. The skies in your Pseudo infrared images are all very pale - typically IR skies are dark with highly contrasting ...

If you had not mentioned Infrared anywhere, I would have said that they were B&W images. EG: Most IR shots of grass, trees, etc shows the greens as white. Your images, good though they are, don't quite portray that. PS: The music you've used is probably copyrighted. Nik Software's silver Ef...

i did this with Hoya R72 ir filter, you need to set a custom white balance, then do some colour channel swapping to keep the blue sky. fortunately there are a lot of very good tutorials on you tube you can use to guide you. hope to get it out on my DA15 , waiting for some greenery to appear most of ...

As someone who takes a lot of infrared images, I would say that if you want to shoot IR then get an IR converted camera, or use an IR filter on your existing camera. Anything else is a pale imitation.

Light Meters vs In Camera Metering
The cinematographer will be talking about incident light measurement and reflective light measurement. The first measures the light by pointing the meter at the light source. The second measures the light by reading the light reflected from the subject. This has got nothing to do with spot meters...

colour popping made Simple
Just wish to suggest to anyone who doesn't like fiddling in Photoshop, it is possible to get a similar effect with recent Pentax cameras actually in camera with the 'Extract Colour' process included with the built in digital filters. Obviously less selective and may not always be possible to sele...

Filter System - Advice please
Hi All A distinct lack in my photography gear is a filter system & associated filters. I'm not entirely sure what I should be getting. My interests are mainly in landscape and I have a K5, DA15, FA43, FA77 & DFA100 and will hopefully add an FA31 at some stage. The advice I can "generally" see ...

Hello I use the Cokin A system - not sure it will be large enough for all of your lenses without checking the filter threads but they cover up to either 72mm or 77mm I hear that the Hitech nd grads have a colour cast but the one I have has not shown this - I bought an A size nd hard grad from...

Filter System - Advice please
It does really depend on a couple of things..budget & how often you're likely to use them. If you have a decent budget then no question in my mind, go with Lee..I've been the Cokin & Hitech route before and there is some truth in the saying "you get what you pay for", Lee are very good quality a...

The full size Lees are large. Using them on small lenses such as yours means that you use very little of the graduation. I think the Lees are much better suited to larger lenses. There is a smaller Lee system which suits the smaller lenses down to a certain point. I enquired at Teamwork and they...
