Next Photoshop Elements.....when...??
I have 14. His Nibs bought it for my birthday when it came out. It isn't much of an upgrade over earlier versions in my opinion. Yes it adds a haze filter (which can be good but can be pretty ott like many Elements pre-sets), and an anti-shake filter, but the RAW developer remains unchanged. I fi...

Which Filter Series?
I am using a K3 and K5 and my widest focal length is 17mm on my Tamron 17-50 f2.8 lens. Which series of Cokin filters should I use? I am looking to use graduated filters.

Which Filter Series?
I use P series filters and holders on my Tamron 17-50, and other lenses up to 77mm filter diameter. I have grad ND and full ND filters, both Cokin and Kood

Which Filter Series?
Yes, P series would be the best bet. The two things that govern what size is best is a) the filter diameter of the lens and b) the angle of view from the lens. I use the P system with all my lenses, even the 10-20mm Sigma. It does mean the holder vignettes into the image at extreme wide angle so...

Which Filter Series?
Have to disagree a little here. As I personally think that for graduated filters the "Z" series is the way to go. As it illimates the very heavy vignetting, when using the very wide angled lenses. Though for normal grad filters and polorizers. I prefer round screwin ones. With step down rings to sma...

Which Filter Series?
Like a lot of things it's all a balance. The larger filter systems (Z & Lee) cost more and are physically larger while the medium sized system (P, Hitech 85)) are a good compromise in that they will cover most DSLR lenses. I've been through Cokin P, Hitech 85's and have ended up with Lee - it's...

Which Filter Series?
Last night I joined my local club, Bury Photographic Society, a move which I would recommend to anyone. There I asked a longstanding member who combines fell walking with landscape photography and his reply was similar to those above, it depends on the filter diameter of the lens and the angle of v...

Serif Affinity Photo
UPDATE: I've found Affinity Photo also has an excellent haze filter and a selection of built in noise and dust filters.

SILLY QUESTION
I think the best approach is to meter without the filter first, ensuring the ground is correct (the sky will be too bright but don't worry), fix that exposure value in manual mode, then place the filter to cover just the sky, then take the picture. The risk of using an auto-exposure mode is that on...

SILLY QUESTION
[quote:3496ace15f="McGregNi The risk of using an auto-exposure mode is that once the filter is in place, a re-metering might occur messing up your nice ground exposure.[/quote] If you meter for the ground, and you know for sure the sky is two stops brighter than the ground, then you could use an...

K-1 owners: Have you gotten rid of your APS-C equipment?
I started with a K7, Upgrading to K5 then K3 very shortly after these models came out. But even though 95% of my photography is landscape, I've not succumbed to the K1 yet (or even the K3ii). My key kit is now K3, 15mm, 20-40mm and 50-135mm with Lee Seven5 filter kit. Excellent image quality and ...

Reviewing images outdoors
I had a little problem this morning while out shooting. I couldnt review the images on the rear screen of my K5ii. As there was some bright thing in the sky. We dont see too often in Manchester. So with the sun being so bright. I was struggling to check if the exposures I had,were correct. More so...

Try a hand over the screen or just turn away from the direct sunlight, F2.8 will give you minimum DOF not maximium. A natural density filter is a good way to reduce ghetto shutter speed in order to get to the flash sync speed when they are as low as they are with our kit, An alternative is a cir...

My Mistake.... yes, I meant to say I'm looking for very shallow depth of field.. I have a Pentax AF540FGZ or the Shanny SN540FGZ Both are equally capable of HSS... But not too well off camera. Which is why I was using the ND filter.. As an on camera flash, I find doesnt work that well coupled wi...

Dear Howard, Who has told you not to use a filter with A DSLR? The most sensible thing is to always have a filter on your lens, I use Hoya HMC UV filters on all my lenses. Remember it's easy and cheap to replace a filter, but it's very expensive if you scratch a lens. :lol::lol::lol::lol::...

Never use filters. Not even polarizing to reduce unwanted reflections? Not even ND to allow a longer exposure? Not even a yellow filter with panchromatic film to enhance the sky? Filters can have their uses. Some Pentax lenses actually have filters built into them, you can't not use them with t...

Very old topic that few agree on. Personally I find a lens hoods help keep out flare, offer knock protection and often improve contrast. Lens caps offer the best protection when lens not in use. A good camera bag is excellent protection too. Rocket blower before severe dust cleaning good too. ...
