variable ND filters
I bought a variable own brand one from the 7day place. Its proving a good introduction to the added flexibility of longer exposures and as the main shots have been quite informal I will not say the filter is perfect but nor have I seen any deal-breaking optical issues. The optics look like they ...

Best editing software?
I use Sagelight image editor for RAW conversion work and initial tonal balancing, contrast, shadow and highlight work & vibrancy. For this I find it excellent. It is not an image managment programme, so for this I use iMatch, , a very powerful cataloguing and image organising programme. Afte...

You chose the type of slide film and maybe used a filter to adjust the colour rendition, even with slides. I'm interested in this because we have an annual "straight out of camera" competition at ADAPS. This is for unadjusted JPEG files only. However, even then there are choices such as image sty...

Unfair yes, apart from the advantage of having Pentax jpegs, what if someone had a camera with no aa filter ... would the others therefore be allowed to crank up the sharpening on their camera settings to even things out? :D I can fully appreciate the discipline involved in having to get the comp...

Issue when using a ND filter.
Hi all, This weekend I had my first attempt with long exposure shots and have used a Tiffen ND 3.0 filter on a 18-55WR lens. I went through the white balance settings during shooting as well during processing in Lightroom but no green colours at all in my images. Just wondering what I'm doing...

Issue when using a ND filter.
Do you have any shots taken without the filter just to compare the colours?

Issue when using a ND filter.
Hi Peter Don't have any experience of the Tiffen 3.0 nd myself so unfortunately can't help with that directly, but do shoot with nd filters a fair bit. All 10 stop filters that I've used have had a colour cast of some kind (I always have white balance set either to AWB or daylight): B&W tend to ...

Issue when using a ND filter.
Yes I did, without the filter everything was fine. I took some shots indoors this afternoon on a dark green and a bright green object with artificial light on it and I did get some green tones in my images.

Issue when using a ND filter.
what make was it? this was with a Camdiox 77mm 3.0 off Ebay, no real colour cast at all, very impressed certainly at the price point, i believe there are others here that use these and were equally impressed which is why i bought mine.tried Cokin and early Hi-Tech both gave colour casts. this was ...

If you did the WB setting with the filter on could that have caused a false WB reading?

Issue when using a ND filter.
As an aside, the best 10 stopper I have used for lack of colour cast is the Haida 10 Stopper, which is also one of the cheapest! I would recommend this filter very highly, it is made of optical glass, not resin, and since acquiring it my Hitech 10 stopper has not been used at all. If anything, t...

Issue when using a ND filter.
Thanks to all for your replies!:D I have the Tiffen ND 3.0 filter in 52mm (£19.90 from Ebay). About the WB settings, I have tried the settings with and without the filter on. I bought this filter last week as it was recommended by a friend who is using the same filter (not on Pentax gear) w...

Issue when using a ND filter.
The affect you are getting is similar to the affect I got when trying . I have used the Camidox filter redbusa mentions above on my K30 without any problem. It seems that from a quick google search you are not alone in experiencing problem with the tiffen filter

Issue when using a ND filter.
I wonder if you are getting contamination from the InfaRed spectrum as per... today’s digital sensors are adversely affected by light outside of the visible spectrum - especially when using higher density ND filters. Infrared contamination causes black areas of the image to appear various shades ...

Issue when using a ND filter.
It seems that Tiffen have just released a new set of ND filters to resolve this issue. From article/press relase allow stills photographers to capture extreme long exposure images without incurring the red colour cast that occurs when photographers use high-density ND filters to shoot lo...

Infra-red filters - how to get good results?
I found using a filter ok on the K7. It needs very long exposure times, and/or high ISO. Frame without the filter, then add filter. - coloured with grads in LR. However, the K5 has a massively strong IR filter and I couldn't get the same results :( I haven't (yet) tried the K5iis... in part...

Infra-red filters - how to get good results?
Usually we tend to see black and white IR shots. They can look very pleasing and have lots of impact and drama. False colour IR photography is, I think, more difficult to do well. There are not as many subjects that are enhanced by it. On film, it's usually done without a filter for strange effec...

Infra-red filters - how to get good results?
I got some pretty good results with the K-x and a Hoya R72 IR filter - it is particularly effective when shooting subjects like old buildings, castles and the like. The K-5IIs is not so good as it must have stronger IR filtering, but it is still usable. See a shot below taken with the Hoya R72: ...
