What a superb capture!

I have finally come around to acquiring some B&W filters for my Pentax 67ii, and I have started to investigate how to best use them. Currently I have a No 8 yellow and No 21 orange filter. No 8 yellow has filter factor 2 (+1 stop), No 21 orange has filter factor 4 (+2 stops). So far so good - but how do I set up my camera? Does the 67ii AE prism (which BTW is quite superb) in AV mode make the necessary adjustments, or do I have to dial in the compensation on the Exposure Compensation dial?

Since I am asking about exposure, what about the 67ii + polarizer and colour film ? So far I have let the AE prism work out the correct exposure. Is this the common practice? I use primarily center-weighted metering.

I am grateful for any advice on this matter!

Best regards

I am glad the lens arrived safely in London! Thank you for the transaction.

I sometimes use the AF 1.7x adapter together with my FA*300 f4.5, I find the optical quality of the 1.7x adapter to be of very high standards. I have yet to see any noticable image degradation due to the use of the 1.7x adapter. But, as many of you say, it is a product which has gone out of production. Pentax would benefit from having a decent teleconverter in their current product range. I would imagine that most (if not all) other major camera brands have a teleconconverter in their line-up

Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts about this matter!

I have been searching for these types of settings on Flickr, without any luck. Where do you find these settings?

Thanks for commenting Will! I understand the things you say, and that there are differences in practice between a pure landscape photographer and a photographer working with more content oriented material, which makes sense.

I have studied other photographers´websites and web galleries, and seen quite a few without any watermarks. For instance in Ian Cameron´s "Transcient Light" website, the images are without a watermark (at least visible ones). The well known Portugese photographer Nanã Sousa Dias, does not have watermarks on his images on Flickr. So I have until now reasoned that "why should I bother with watermarks if internationally well known photographers have no watermarks on their work".

Now I would like to learn more about this, and am interested in your experience and practice.

Recently I have been busy scanning medium format film taken during the last two years. Scanning is fun, but very time consuming. I have now started to think about all the money and work I have put into my photo hobby, and also about how best to share photos on the Internet.

I upload images to Flickr without a watermark and with these specs:

File type: jpeg
Dimension: 1024x1024
Resolution: 72ppt
Bitdepth: 24
Colour profile: sRGB
File size: Between 250kb-1mb

Does this seem like okay settings, or should I possibly reduce the file size/quality? If I ever should become victim of image theft, would my files have any use for anyone, being of such low file quality?

I do not know much about these things, it would be very useful to learn more about how other people here share on the Internet (in a safe way).
