Indian Summer - a few Butterfly Pics
the Sigma 105 had the assistance of a polarising filter That would have cost you a couple of stops then, and it's not done much that couldn't have been done afterwards, keep the polariser for things that don't fly off:)

Hi Adam, there are probably a few things you could do: - Shoot at a wider aperture; you don't need F14 or F16 for this type of shot unless you have very close objects that need to be pin-sharp. On a wide-ish lens you'll find that F7.1 or F8 is usually ample and this will help keep the ISO low -...

I think #1 might have benefitted from the use of a polarising filter, to give the viewer more of a "close-to-the-action" perspective - It still has that element of "drama/interest" though! :)

Eek - that is very yellow :shock: ..... I was going to say that.. but I'm too much of a gentleman :mrgreen: :wink: It's probably due to the filter? -

Thanks Gwyn, it must have been through using that 7dayshop variND that has caused the colour cast. I thought it looked (and many of the others) too yellow too and you have just confirmed it for me. It will give me few hours entertainment trying to correct it before deleting them :) At least I didn't...

Is It Natural?
Lets me start by repeating what John said. The image is attractive and I do like it. Whilst I also acknowledge that only you can say whether the image is an accurate representation of what you saw, I assume that part of your purpose in posting the photo is to elicit best guesses as to whether the ...

Is It Natural?
In answer to both questions has to be no. The end result should be as you see it. If on the other hand you want to see what the camera saw then it is best to apply the the neutralize filter in Photoshop which clears any colour casts that may be present. In your own picture it removes the purple and...

Is It Natural?
Good evening everyone, thanks for your input so far. The first thing I have to say is that the post has had the desired effect - i.e. it has sparked debate. The second thing is that I am even more convinced than I was before that everyone views images entirely from their own perspective - we are a...

Is It Natural?
Snag is the brain is easily fooled by external lighting temperatures. I imagine that setting the white balance is akin to adding a coloured filter to the outside of the lens so that for example daylight emulsion can be used with flash. If so then the accuracy of the unfiltered sensor will vary (w...

Is It Natural?
There has been a lot of debate about what is simply a colour cast in both of Davids pictures. I explained in the other thread how I very closely matched image 2 to image 1. This was done by one click on the neutralize filter in Photoshop. Part of this filters job is to eliminate colour casts whic...

Is It Natural?
Globally applied photographic filters or software colour toning are not as versatile as the human perception. If a dominant cast in a photo is prevalent over a wide range of different surfaces and objects, then it won't be perceived as natural, because the photo will not benefit from the ability of ...

Ducati 996 in a droplet
It's art from art as I see it. Oh how sweet is the sound of Termignoni's at full chat. Thanks David Stuey and Nigel you are right about the sound of Termignoni's there is nothing like the sound of a big vee twin. My 996 has a full system and an under tank air filter, large air tubes and no fairing ...

A selection of shots taken yesterday at Roche Abbey, near Maltby, South Yorkshire. This location is one of my favourites; extremely atmospheric, especially during the Autumn and Winter months. All of these were taken with the K-5 and 18-55WR, except the 'Red Tree' and 'Round Arch' images which wer...

how did you get rid of the colour cast that the Hitech filter gives? to get back to such natural colours As Darkskies has mentioned, the best way is to set a custom white balance on the camera. This corrects any blue cast and then it's easy to adjust to personal taste in post processing. Also, it ...

Thank you to you all for your comments and observations. One thing I would be interested in is more views on the Hitech Pro 10 stop filter. It seemes pretty good to me; yes it leaves a blue cast, but this is very easy to remove in PP. Thanks for looking! Regards David

As far as the filter is concerned, David, as far as I'm concerned it does what it says on the tin. I find I can calculate the exposure required easily...in other words, it's an accurate 10 stopper.....and once the blue is removed it seems to provide natural enough colour. I haven't used it tha...

Shooting through perspex
perhaps a polarising filter although that wont take out the inevitable dirt and scratches. If it did work of course it wont help after the event.
