Could we have a forum of filters, I never know where to put my question. The question I have is where do I buy one of these lee filters big stopper. Warehouse express has a very long waiting list. Does anyone know of anywhere else, I live in UK, but it doesn't matter if it in USA as my son who lives there can post it to me. Thanks anyone.
regards susan

Thank you, what about if I just used the polarizer, and also an ND grad filter in front, would that make a difference to the photo as well.
Thanks again

Not sure if I have put this on the right forum. I am thinking of getting a B&W Circular Polarizer, what is the different between multi-coated glass or not.I want a good quality and to use with auto focus. Also I have on my lens a hoya hd protector, if I put a polarizer ontop of this one, will it effect the quality of the photo taken.
Thanks very much everyone for taking the time to look and hopefully answer these questions.

I prefer the editied one, I wondered what the round bit at the bottom was in the editied one, now I can see,perhaps if you cloned it out it would look even better. Just a though. You did right in cropping it though.

This one was done with the K10D and a cokin infrared filter so it is possible.

This is not the standard black and white infrared but it really is a infrared photo and made it into a duotone photo. Since you only use the red pixels you lose 1/4th of the resolution
All I can say is Wow, and hurry up sunshine weather so I can try it out again. Thanks for showing it.

My attempts at this involved 20 or 30 second exposures with apertures in the f5.6-9.5 range (and 100 ISO). As the guys on here pointed out, it's an uphill struggle given the effectiveness of the sensors' IR filtration. It's worth a try though and I'll have another go if the sun ever comes out again.
Like me, need to wait until sun comes out again.

Just to quickly try the K20D with infrared; today in sunlight I found that, ISO 800 and 2secs @ f8 achieved a reasonable image. These are a lot longer exposures than on the Pentax istDL2.
Will try that as soon as I get a good day.

Hi again, have not been able to try out my camera using the filter again as, never guess, well of course, its raining again, so will have to hope that I get a good day during this month.August though is usually a raining month here. I would however like to see some photo's taking from anyone who has had a IR filter, just to see what it turns out like. I really love to have a go without the cost of buying a camera with it already on. I so like the effect, and it would be a great way of taking photo's when the weather is blue and beautifully white clouds. I did one on the computer but I don't know how to put it on here.
