Daffodils, Some Spring Sunshine & A Vari ND Filter
Interesting light. Looks like a studio shot. So I'm assuming the dark part if the filter is coming down from the top. Don't people end up with dark heads?

This isn't a graduated filter DM but instead an even Neutral Density filter. The 'variable' bit isn't between one part of the filter and anoth...

I like it, Gareth. Was it taken using your Sigma 35mm Art lens? Regards, JC HI JC Thanks, I took it with the Sigma 85mm and a Metz flash and a variable ND. Just trying out a few new ideas, more to be shown in the next few weeks. Rob, I should have stated I used a flash in my origina...

Leaving aside the technical conversation - which I appreciate - and would never have thought of doing being a complete no-hoper when it comes to flash use - I would just add that as far as I am concerned - it worked! Really like the light and almost studio effect achieved. Carl

Just thought i would show another two images from Sunday using the same technique. The one with the Daffodils was the first image I took on that day. during this shot I then noticed the sunlight in a different area and took the image at top of this thread, I think this worked out to be the best ...

Ah, 'variable', I didn't know such things existed, sounds really handy. More kit I have to have :roll: Gwing, thanks, I knew the principle, I just assumed he was talking about a gradient filter. Not much of a gear freak me :) I think it's essential to use a large light modifier here, and gentler f...

Daffodils, Some Spring Sunshine & A Vari ND Filter
Hi Mark When I go hiking I always take a camera and from time to time a flash and two triggers. I wanted to experiment with the variable ND, but did not want to take any light modifiers or light stands. I have used HSS, but its limitations are power and connection with the camera and you lose con...

Effects of a cheap Var-ND. Other effects are two black arcs across the image.

[quote:3496ace15f="Fletcher8"][ I *know* I should be using fill in flash sometimes, and I'm missing out. I just haven't liked the result.The lighting on your third image does look good though, maybe I should try again. Rob, i hope i am not teaching you to suck eggs, but i found that between 30%...

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...

Thanks Smeggypants. I wish the ND idea was truly mine, I am not sure who first came up with the idea, but everything I have learnt in relation to flash and off camera flash is down to David Hobby and his blog Strobist / lighting 101.

Working with HSV images- any GIMP experts here?
http://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/142321/files/FredembachBS2009.pdf page 5 figure 9 :shock: not sure how to map that to Gimp though Do you need to add in a Bilateral Filter to the filter scripts? A little like the high pass filter for sharpening.

The way I see it. So split the colour from the light. Do a BIL filter and take the smoothed layer. Take the IR version, BIL fliter , find the difference and take the detail. Add the IR detail to the colour light base. Add the colour layer back. You can get an add on BIL script for ...
