First outing with the 55-300mm :)
Thanks for the comments guys - haven't had chance to look back at this post this last week although your comments and suggestions will be really helpful. I think your sharpness concern could be partly down to camera shake. I presume you have the shake option turned on if you were hand holding? T...

First outing with the 55-300mm :)
Adam, it hadn't dawned on me originally because it is quite subtle. Where you laid out flat on your stomach for the football shots worked well because of the low viewpoint giving an unusual angle (beside helping to steady the camera.) When you say centre focus and then recompose, what exactly to ...

First outing with the 55-300mm :)
I do tend to use filters, but purely to protect the lens element and the filter threads. Some lenses seem to tolerate filters better than others and I have found the 55-300 to be very picky in this regard. I cannot get it to focus at all with a circular polariser and although it focusses fine with...

Had a quick trip down the road this afternoon, here's a few shots. I was trying out a polarising filter that I got off eBay, I'm not entirely sure it isn't affecting clarity on 1:1 of the images before I resize them for the web. Lamp: Nameplate: Pulling out: Can never resi...

Very good. I remember the sun from March!! :D I like 2nd and might jiggle the composition if it was mine. Get your blacks more black. (probably in development). We could never get our blacks dark enough for our tutor. Perhaps he was a bit too keen on black, blaaaaaaaack.... etc Is it a gree...

The film was an Ilford HP5 400 and yes rheses were taken one sunny lunch time in march. The film was processed and printed by Snaps photos. They scanned the negatives at 4mb to give me a jpeg. I did try tweaking highlights in elements and the effect was good. But that seemed to defeat the ide...

Film is sensitive to UV, (or is it the metres) if its bright you can use a yellow or orange to reduce the glare. Orange blocking more than yellow. I pretty much left the yellow filter on all the time. Also redder filters darken blue skies. Green filter helps accentuate brick work. I think. R...

Nice images :D I have a star burst filter and felt it was useless but I may now 'borrow' your use of it :D

Tobacco grads and starburst filter? Usually they'd make me do a little sick in my mouth, but the back-to-the=80s look actually works really well with these shots!

1st try with Hitech Grad filters
Excuse me for not seeing this, but the thread is titled "Grad filters", but I cnnot see any evidence of graduation in the image. It looks like a very long time exposure without the use of a filter. Forgive me if I am wrong.

A-50mm f2.8 - this is what happens
All good but that 3rd shot at half a second is a stunner - did you use a filter as well? Carl

Can't help, Ken, but your first attempt is a heck of a lot better than anything I managed. The trees are excellent. I'd read that images taken with the IR filter needed very long exposures, but, like you, found that 1/30 or so was enough.

Mode>Desaturate is the way to go if there is only a red image. presumably you have used an IR filter. If there's a bit of colour then Channel Mixer first. After that, levels or curves should be enough to create the optimum effect.

Daz, you have some nice IR shots... which filter are you using with your K7? I always thought the K7 (unmodded) wasn't great for IR photography.

What filter are you using? If it's 720nm, then you need to get the WB right. In-camera it can be done by setting the WB on sunlit grass (or white paper if there's no grass available), but ACR and Lightroom will still make the image look red as they only go down to 2000K. You can make a custom camera...
