Testng the ND3 filter
I like the first image, the sky is blown a little, but IMO acceptable given the image balence

Thanks for your comments, I can't do anything about the background/ tables they are the restaurant owners very expensive pride and joy! But I know exactly what you mean. As far as I remember they were shot around f8 and are pin sharp corner to corner but restricted Dof is currently fashionable in f...

Waterfall
As far as the original image goes, there's a vertical branch running to the top just left of centre, I'd crop it just to the right of this branch and use it as a vertical shot (possibly cropping the bottom too). I don't think the left hand side of the image adds much and it detracts from the waterfa...

Images from MX-1
Yep! Ordered from them direct and took a couple of weeks I think by snail mail from across the pond. I also got the Kiwifotos lens adapter so I can use 58mm filters. Basically an aluminium tube, push fit and held in place with a couple of hex-head grub screws, then just screw in a filter. I ...

I did mean to ask if you had used the ND Filter. No idea what that stands for but on video reviews appears to work like a polariser, or certainly gave that impression. That first image appears to have turned out well considering the contrast challenge given to the camera, hence wondering about th...

I didn't use any special features on those shots, Nigel, just small adjustments to brightness and contrast, and slight cropping of some of them, in PP. I probably shouldn't have read the posts from Steve and Jon re. the ND filter - that's now another type of cliche shot to attempt, and add to al...

The Race Track
Its very effective Alistair :) The technique works well with this subject - I can't see and significant distortions - perhaps a bit of barreling across the middle. I would try and even out the sky exposure a bit left to right using some sort of graduated filter effect.

Very good Jules, love the light and viewpoints here. The grad has certainly done its stuff there. I think the balance is right on the first one - but on the the other two it looks like the filter has covered the whole lot ... They look a bit underexposed to me, even 0.5 to 0.7 of a stop more on the ...

A few snaps from my new GR!
Thanks Steep! I must admit I'm still amazed at the IQ of the little GR, it keeps churning out great colour and B&W pictures with really excellent DR. In my experience, I've been getting much more pleasing and consistent results from the GR than I ever did with my K5 (with DA35/FA50/DA70). Maybe it's...

Field is too drab for me. I'd boost it with a grad filter like this I'll ignore the "single tree in a field" cliché this time ;) :P

A very British scene
Thanks for all the comments and edits:D For those of you that want to play with the original RAW file, to see if you can do better than me, you should be able to download it from here: . Gravelrash, the actual point of the photo was to capture the Land Rover against the british countryside. ...

It was a simple lightoom grad filter on the foreground boosting exposure, contrast and a slight saturation boost

Thanks AndrewA
Thanks David and Horst Yes - Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC. Drew let me have a play with his copy on the PU meet last month, I really liked it and then he offered to sell it to me :). Always good when we feed each others LBA :wink: Shot was @10mm, f10, 30secs, ISO1600. Bit of tidying up in li...

Bird ident?
Odd looking motion blur in the OOF background but nowhere else ? ? ? Could it be moire? The bokeh off the DA*300mm is usually excellent :shock: I've never seen anything like that from a K-5 Mk1. This shots from a K-3. 1/800th I seem to remember is around the limit for the filter. Click through ...

Bird ident?
I was shooting with a cheap Kood uv filter on, it might be some small defects in the glass. IT served it's purpose yesterday, while packing up the wind caught the benbo tripod and blew it over onto the stones, k3, DA*300 and all. Luckily the filter rim and tripod adjustment bolt took the worst of it...

Hopefully it was caused by the filter. --

I've gone over some of the other images from yesterday and it's visible in them too, I think it's the double glazing effect. A reflection off the front element onto the rear of the filter and back down the lens, slightly off line.

Reflection
I love that, those weird distortions look a bit like one of those fun-fair mirror halls. Great control of exposure and contrast here. Need a bit more window clean filter - or maybe 'DeGrease Lens' in the custom settings would do it as well :D
