K-3 and IR in my favourite location
I love the crispness & detail, and the way the eye is lead through into the scenes. The long exposure (I'm guessing this filter loses quite a few stops there!) and the IR gives an otherwordly feel. This suits the mono tones - not so sure about the Sepia though ? Great work :)

Cheers Nigel, thanks very much for the comments! The long exposure (I'm guessing this filter loses quite a few stops there!) and the IR gives an otherwordly feel. This suits the mono tones - not so sure about the Sepia though ? Great work :) The IR filter approximates to a 10 stop filter, or p...

These are classy images with fine quality, including the sepia example, although I'm with the others in thinking the black and white version is better. Am I right in thinking that if you went back there in summer and used the same set up the IR filter would give these images a totally different loo...

Thanks David, John and George, much appreciated. I'd be interested to know how much colour you got in the images There really isn't any usable colour at all Jon, just very reddish-orange tones that are only suitable for a BW conversion. With the Hoya filter the effect is much more limited than i...

It sounds like the WB was not set correctly if the whole image was reddish-orange, David. You should get some blue/cyan as well with an R72 filter. If you set the WB from some green foliage, preferably grass in sunlight, you should get more colour from the images.

Thanks for the tip on the WB Jon, I have never known where to set the WB for using the Hoya R72 filter. I will give this a go. When you say to set the WB from some green foliage, I presume you mean without the filter on the lens? Excuse my ignorance with this question!! Cheers David

David, you need to set the WB with the filter on; have the lens wide-open and point it at some grass to set a WB. Lightroom/ACR can't cope with a colour temperature below 2000K, though LR 5 works better than previous versions. If you have any problems with WB in Lightroom, you can make a custom prof...

I don't think it will be possible to set with the filter on Jon, the filter lets almost no light in and there won't be enough to get a reading? If you can explain more I would be grateful, I'll also have a look at the link. Regards David

I wonder what an images would look like shooting in the medium wave section of the electromagnetic spectrum :) ( if you could get a sensor that could recieve it of course :) ) No idea on that one Smeggy. Regarding your previous observation about producing effects similar to IR by tweaking the colou...

Blyth Beach Long Exposure
Just to be clear about what I meant, I do like the image very much and I think you are right about the smooth sea, but this could have been achieved with a 10 second exposure or less, what I was meaning is that it didn't need 258 seconds. The light must have been quite dim if it needed 258, even ta...

First Attempt at Long Exposure. Comments / Advice Welcomed
Hi Folks So, Wednesday the Postman brought me my First ND Filter, A 77mm SRB 10 Stop. All the reviews I could find told me it was a bargain at £30. Thursday Morning found me working in Saffron Walden so an early lunch break and a short walk later I found a place to try out a long exposure. ...

How to make them pop? You can follow on from the traditional way and apply digital filters, which simulate the effects of the glass filters we used to use (eg yellow & red for increased contrast and strengthening blues and greens). Pentax Digital Camera Utility takes a direct approach to this, ...

Flare Resistance with the 10-17mm
Ah well thats good, it may well be needed ... as you will have seen we have a very high dynamic range down here (nearer the equator), so you will need those HDR modes for sure, as well as so many moire-inducing subjects that can catch you unawares at any moment, so the aa filter simulator can get a ...

Something different from me
Impossible on the K3 surely - just turn the aa filter simulator off!

Misty Blue
Thanks Ronnie. A bit of background to the shot. It was an outing with my photo club and I arrived home late from work to a text message telling me that as the weather was fine we were going to pop out and head to the beach :-) My K-5 was battery drained and charger had gone missing so figured I ...

6x7 Boathouses
Thanks John! I find it very interesting to read your comments on my images. With number two I was laying on the ground, trying to capture a different perspective on a very mundane subject. These boathouses are very common all along the Norwegian coast, and also in the fjords, and are favoured pho...
