Dawn at Merkland Point
Made my first proper attempts last week to rise before the larks and catch dawn/sunrise light for landscapes. Mixed results ("another partial success from Professor Piehead", as those of a certain age and cultural leaning would say), but I think I've learned much. C&C very welcome :D Taken ...

Whitby Abbey
NIce sky! Looks like your 10 stop filter at work. I agree the abbey seems slightly soft, and I can also see the halo Gareth refers too (although it is very small).

Some fenciful images...
...as a change from band pictures yesterday I put the R72 IR filter on the Sigma 10-20mm and attached that to the Samsung GX1L (rebadged Pentax *istDS). The camera is IR-sensitive enough to use 1/15th at f/8, ISO 400. Or so I thought - all then needed 3 stops of extra pushing in Bibble due to me c...

Landscape of Hong Kong
#4, #5 and #6 are stunning excellent pics. #1 IMHO needs a horizontal grad filter to progressively darken the sky, background to give some more depth. this would nehance the forground. :) #2 and #3 don't do much for me, and #7 and #8, while being verygood examples of the genre, I find long exp...

Slutwalk 2011 - Piccadilly, London - VOLUME ONE
Thanks ever so much folks [blush] :) @Frogfish - K-5's plus DA 10-17, Sigma 17-70, DA* 50-135, Sigma 135-400. looking at the LR EXIF filter, I used roughly equal amounts of all 4 lenses on the above set. @Algernon - the only side the Daily Mail is on is that of the Ruling Elite as a propaganda...

Left over pic from the mono landscape competition...
I was going to do trees for the mono landscapes competition, but in the end I went with an entry based on fences. Out of the tree shots I'd acquired on Friday I liked this one the best, so here it is for your delectation - a tree at Danebury Ring, a hill fort near Stockbridge in Hampshire. It pro...

Weekend Saunter
My approach would be as above but change the layer mode to 'multiply' and then erase the lower part of the sky using a large eraser brush set to 40 percent and maximum softness - working it so the sky becomes paler towards where it meets the trees and so a little overlap between the sky and foregrou...

Strathy Point Seascapes
A work trip found me on the far north coast of scotland last week - with the sun setting at 10.45pm. Plenty of time for after-dinner photography :) Taken with a 2 stop ND filter and a polariser to get a longer exposure (1.3 seconds. I'd tried to get a fuller set of ND filters b...

First shots on IR-converted body
I had a brief opportunity today to take some shots with the body I converted to IR. It shows promise, but I managed to get a few bits of dust in there as well, so I'll strip it down and fix that tomorrow. In the meantime these show the general nature of the images I'm getting: Both on ...

First shots on IR-converted body
You're clearly getting there! Exposure will always be hit and miss as there's no way of knowing how much IR light is present. However, it's always been the same, so I guess there's always going to be an element of surprise when you look at the results. With the filter on the lens the meter saw mo...

St Cross Hospital - IR on reworked body
I spent some time today reworking the filter arrangements in the converted body in order to get rid of some dust between the sensor and the filter. I also managed to touch part of the circuit connected to the flash capacitor for the first time - and believe me I'm not going to repeat that :shock: ...

St Cross Hospital - IR on reworked body
... It is so nice to be using speeds like 1/250th at f/8 in IR. Are the same settings not achievable with a IR filter in front of the lens?

St Cross Hospital - IR on reworked body
... It is so nice to be using speeds like 1/250th at f/8 in IR. Are the same settings not achievable with a IR filter in front of the lens? No, the sensor has a filter in front of it which cuts out the IR. Using a filter on the front that cuts out visible light in conjunction with the built-in filt...

Grass Seed-heads
I like these Roger. But yes they could do with a pass of the USM filter to sharpen them up after resizing. Only the third one looks like it has focussing or dof issues :wink: Re the spots - can you really not see them? :lol:

Welding Mask Glass
Been toying with the idea of getting a Lee Big Stopper or a B&W 110 filter. Before spending the money, I thought I'd have a play about on the cheap. I've seen Welding Mask Glass used, over on talkphotography. I've posted one pic in the fortnightly competition. Here are some others. The sky was rathe...

Welding Mask Glass
The last one is my favourite too, though I find the red of the sign a bit distracting; however, that might just be me. I like the second one too, but I am wondering how it looked before the square crop? On the first one the colours don't look quite right, and it's not very sharp as Karl said. ...

Welding Mask Glass
Thanks for the feedback. My wife doesn't like the red either, while I think it helps make the shot. The second one, prior to the square crop had an uninteresting foreground and a wonkey horizon. Bltyhman, the image quality on number 1 look inferior to the other two - a little less sharp? However I...

Welding Mask Glass
I just bought a couple of rolls of car window tint film, and naturally I'll have offcuts. Considering fitting some to an old UV filter (got a small pile of them somewhere) as an ultra ND filter. I suspect the results will be horrible but I'll give it a try, it won't cost me anything after all!.
