Photographing the moon
The stars and star trails comment is amusing. I've been wondering lately about simulating that with a single shot, some masking and a rotating/radial filter of some sort in photoshop. I expect this method would be significantly warmer to achieve also :wink:...

DA Ltds and Lee Sev5n filter system
This is a bit niche, but might be interesting to some. I've been on the lookout for a while for a decent filter system allowing use of ND grads (and potentially a 10-stopper) on my DA Ltds, including the DA15 with its excellent but fixed and protruding hood. The Ltd lenses are obviously small (wh...

Interesting, thanks for that. I did enquire at Teamwork Photo but they told me the syetem was unsuitable for the DA15, looks very workable to me.

DA Ltds and Lee Sev5n filter system
Having not gotten round to these kind of filters, if you only use a single filter, would it not be possible to remove the outer holder section seeing as it is screwed together, reducing the vignetting?

if you only use a single filter, would it not be possible to remove the outer holder section seeing as it is screwed together, reducing the vignetting? Yes- that's certainly possible with this system, although I didn't get to test it. Might be a faff in the field to take a section out. Or you could ...

I like a bit of vignetting. It adds depth to a pic and draws the eye to the central subject area of the scene. The edges of a composition are there to support and frame the subject not take equal limelight to it. IMO :)

just get an old 49mm filter and push the glass out then use as an extension on the 15mm with the benefit of not having what could be a detrimental extra layer of glass between filter and lens

DA Ltds and Lee Sev5n filter system
It seems an ideal solution if you are restricting your use to the smaller Pentax lenses. It does, though, lack versatility if you should ever want to use ND grads on the larger diameter lenses. For that reason, I use the 100mm Lee holder, along with their wide-angle adapter rings on my wider len...

Agreed, and that's why it's probably a niche solution. My standard takeout kit up to now has been K5 plus...

And Pentax helps them - makes new red line around lens and sales people will tell - ou, it`s super brand new model. just half year ago released. It has super nano robots on its coataing, these robots are running there and cleaning off all dirt, ghosting and foggy unsharpness. The 'HD' thing really a...

The 'HD' thing really annoys me. It has come from the video world where it means 1920x1080 at best (or just over 2MP) and doesn't to me, make it sound like a particularly impressive lens/coating/filter etc. If you haven't already seen it, you might be interested in http://www.imaging-resource.com/ne...

Topaz DeNoise v LR
Well, I always figure that if its taking a long time then it must be doing some serious stuff! If batch processing and speed are a priority, then a solution like Lightroom is going to be best - Topaz DeNoise works on a single image at a time, although it's settings are stored from the previous use w...

Megapixels
wow, didn't know there is a colour filter over the sensor, always thought the light sensors were sensitive to a specific frequency of light. So if the final image is 24 MP, then the amount of physical light sensors is somewhere around 72 million? Cheers

Daffodils, Some Spring Sunshine & A Vari ND Filter
On Sunday I had a chance to use the Genustech Variable ND filter and I have to say it’s probably the best out of the ones i have used so far. Just experimenting ready for some spring portraits I will be taking and thanks to Fran for being so patient whilst i experimented. Portrait wise not the b...

I'm not really clear on what benefits the ND filter is providing here, could you expand a little further?

Daffodils, Some Spring Sunshine & A Vari ND Filter
Hi Rob, I will try. OK, f/2, ISO 200 Shutter I think was 1/1250 or thereabouts. Needed some fill flash on Frans Face, but can't sync the flash at the above shutter speed. The light from HSS would have been killed and it would have been on camera, not the look i wanted. Solution, use a variabl...

I like it, Gareth. Was it taken using your Sigma 35mm Art lens? Regards, JC
