Toadstools
Yep, first one's better for me too, but not so sure about the brown leaves on the right hand side. If you've got a polariser filter, try using that when you next shoot toadstools, it can make a massive difference to the whole scene. ;-) Dan

Toadstools
I agree number one is the better photo, though number two had the potential to be a great picture if you'd concentrated on the three in a row on the left. If you've got a polariser filter, try using that when you next shoot toadstools, it can make a massive difference to the whole scene. ;-) ...

Hi Amin, They all look great and very impressive. Two things though, three out of five have a serious lean to the left. Don't know if recent wine usage has anything to do with it.:wink: And secondly, to answer in behave of Stefan. He means a POLarisation filter. Martin. Edit: had to adjus...

First attempt.
Hello Hardgravity, I used a Hoya R72 filter, a 30 second exposure at f9.5 and then fiddled with the saturation and contrast of the (naturally, very red) image in Faststone. Not the right way of going about it, :roll:, certainly, but I think the effect suits the harsh landscape. Here's another on...

First attempt.
Interesting technique, and it seems to work. Just for your reading I posted a while ago. Thanks to everybody on here I know which body to use when I get around to trying something like yours.8)

Rev 28mm on K-7
You can make an adapter easily enough that will enable you to use your ringlash. I made one from the body mount from an old extension tube and a 58mm filter. I just took the glass out of the filter and glued the remaining filter body to the body mount. This then fits on to the reversed lens and y...

Waterfall
This was my first waterfall shot. I was attempting to slow it down enough to blur the water, something I had never tried before. I found getting an exposure slow enough to blur the water but retaining detail in the ice crystals in the foreground fairly tricky at first, it took a CP filter plus a .9 ...

My new Sigma 10-20, first image
Tim Great lens, I've recently bought one too, although I had to change my filter set up as at 10mm I had v'g (cokin P series - now using Lee). Are you using a filter system, did you use it for this shot - if it metered of the sky the foreground would be darker - I think (but that's probably what...

No filter on this one, I ordered a Hoya Pro 1 UV but it hadn't arrived at this point and I was too impatient to wait another day :)

The sky really makes this shot. Lovely. The Pentax/Samsung multi-segment metering tends to give the effect you describe. If you feel you're losing quality in the darker areas, an ND graduated filter is probably the way forward. If the ground was properly exposed without a filter, the sky would be bl...

With Cokin P-series ND grads, which I use (not often enough), you screw the filter holder on to the lens and then slide the rectangular filter itself into the holder. The cut-off between the ND and clear portions of the filter is roughly half-way down, but the filter is sufficiently large to all...

Sincere thanks for the lesson Aero, it never occurred to me to have a larger filter and slide it around to match the horizon. Hmmm, very interesting. I'm only barely managing my rampant LBA, I could do without FBA to go with it... I'm guessing those Cokin systems cost a fair bit :) Jackitec your ...

My new Sigma 10-20, first image
Tim Aero is right about the use of the filters, but before you rush out and get the cokin P series you need to be aware that at 10mm your lens will pick up the filter holder potentially ruining your shot (as the lens is so wide!) - this means you'll end up cropping the image which defeats the pur...

Tim I have the Cokin filter system that I really don't use now as there getting quite expensive, there are square filters on the market but they are to fiddly, if you decide on a polarizer make sure it is the ultra slim fit as you will get vignetting at 10mm. Jack. Here is another with the polar...

Yes Peter I know what you mean, I was meaning these, Jack. Strewth, you can (almost) buy a K20D body for that price. I use a Heliopan 105mm CP filter in a Lee holder. I wasn't sure if thoughton new the difference Jack. I realised you did.

Lens stacking macros
I'm not with what you mean by stacking. Do you mean your mounting one lens in front of another? Yes he does. Attach the longer of the two lenses to the camera and reverse mount the stacked lens using a dual male filter thread adapter, otherwise known as a stacking ring.
