Was out and about this morning trying out my newly acquired ND 10 stopper .When i downloaded them onto PC i was very disheartened by my results ,i'm possibly putting this down to user error . Anyway i've put a link to some of the photos i captured this morning maybe sombody will come along and tell me what they think i've done wrong here . One mistake i know for sure is that i shot them in jepeg when i should have used RAW .

What is the problem?

one thing i do notice is that you use ISO200 while you could have doubled your exposure if you used ISO100.

It's pretty difficult to judge exposures and I think a little pp adjusting is required here and there. A couple of the shots might have been better off with a grad ND as well to even out the contrast between bright sky and dark foreground. But there are some nice shots there, 4 particularly and 6 stand out and they can be further improved by horizon straightening and dust spotting.

Yeah. What exactly is wrong? I notice one thing - it has way less colour cast than my Formatt filter. Different white balance settings seem to be in use, though.

ISO 200 is the lowest on the K-x.

You can extent it to ISO100 though.

Well, blimey. I've just done it too!

Thanks Stefan and Sean.

I'm just wondering why the default is 200-6400, and you have to choose 100-12400? Sorry, I know this isn't anything to do with the ND filter thread.

BTW, I think the photos using the filter are pretty good considering it's a first outing. Like everything else, it takes practice to get it right.

There's some nice shots in there. I like #4. You probably know this already but you have some muck on your sensor. couple of spots at an angle in the upper half of the frame
