Alternatives to Lee foundation holders?
I use Hitech hard grad filters and holder. If you stack the filters you can get a colour cast. I often do. The hard grad filters are big enough to cover the whole frame, so I sometimes use one across the whole image and then one for the sky only. Can then give a bit of a pinky/purple tinge. Looks ok...

Alternatives to Lee foundation holders?
I also use the Sigma 10-20 and Cokin P filters. And experienced the same vignetting problem. Im an infrequent filter user. So I didnt want to pay the Lee price.. I thought. Surely at the end of the day the holder only holds.. So I purchased this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GGDG0RC/re...

any advice for a shoot in the Lake district
thank you all Yes it's all about light in the end. I've got The Photographer's Ephemeris and some other sun apps the only think is they will not work with out internet or phone signal so it's map and the sun location drawn on a map with compass. I am right in thinking waterfalls are best record...

any advice for a shoot in the Lake district
I liked the Joe Cornish link; set of Lee Filters hard grad + soft grad + ND filters? Hmm. I don't know about other models but on the K-1 the green button gives a meter reading in manual mode which I use 80% of the time, really useful. Incidentally there is a K-1 review in Outdoor Photography this mo...

Selling Fine Art Photos
A buddy of mine produced a theme for Microsoft (the London theme from Win 7 afaik) and this brought him loads of traffic. He sells prints on his website also, and he recently started selling his best pics in calendar format - the local 'Yorkshire' calendar is best seller from his range. One of hi...

10 Stop filter tips
I've owned a circular 10 stop filter for a couple of years, having only used it once with average results. So I decided to have another go last weekend, only for my Pentax remote die on me :-/ What I've viewed online, and try, was to compose the scene in AV mode, noting the shutter speed. The...

It does, but the filter might not be exactly 10 stops so test it first to get the exact difference required.

Don't forget to switch to manual focus as well, otherwise the camera will be 'blind' and hunt fruitlessly. There are free phone apps to give a quick shutter speed check like Lee Filters, you don't need their products it gives speeds for 6, 10 and 15 stop filters. Better than relying on fingers!

As above, the phone apps work well, I've one called " Exposure Calculator " works on android and gives you options for various stops of ND Filter, you put in your current settings and it tells you the ideal settings with the filter value selected. TBH, I find if your talking about adjusting the ...

TBH, I find if your talking about adjusting the time by 10 seconds or less, there's very very little difference in the exposure recorded. Couldnt agree more.. I use a free mobile app ND Filter timer. You can input filters of any strength...

Hi Rob, Yes I know, what I was saying is if the exposure is adjusted by 10 seconds there is no real difference to the exposure so if it's 30 seconds or 40 seconds, there's very little visual difference and even less if the initial exposure runs into a minute or more.

10 Stop filter tips
Hi, I tried counting stops but the results were too dark, probably because the camera was set with 1/3 stop steps! Taking some with a 6 stop filter and using a tripod, f16 setting and the 2 sec timer the results were not too sharp, so would it better with live view or mirror lock-up? Or maybe it was...

Thanks all for the tips and advice, greatly appreciated. In this day and age, I'm one of the small minority who doesn't own a smartphone (my mother does, mind you) :oops: The filter came with a conversion chart for the corresponding shutter speeds, so I can try and use this as a guide. Rega...
