As my right eye is dominant using a right handed camera feels just natural.

I have the Tiffen ND 3.0 filter in 52mm (£19.90 from Ebay).
About the WB settings, I have tried the settings with and without the filter on.
I bought this filter last week as it was recommended by a friend who is using the same filter (not on Pentax gear) without any issues aside from some colour cast, he is suggesting to swap our filters (luckily we using both 52mm) and see what happens then. Just wondering if I might have received a faulty copy...

Hi Peter
Don't have any experience of the Tiffen 3.0 nd myself so unfortunately can't help with that directly, but do shoot with nd filters a fair bit. All 10 stop filters that I've used have had a colour cast of some kind (I always have white balance set either to AWB or daylight): B&W tend to have a magenta cast (often tricky to remove in post), HiTech a bright blue cast and low contrast (sometimes tricky to fix in post), Lee blueish cast (always possible in my experience to remove in post). I use Lr5, and adjust white balance manually. Just wondering if you're shooting RAW or jpeg? RAW files should usually be recoverable, jpegs less so. Otherwise, am as baffled as you. Good luck with the investigations!
Best
I always shoot RAW and was surprised as well I couldn't recover any in Lightroom.

This weekend I had my first attempt with long exposure shots and have used a Tiffen ND 3.0 filter on a 18-55WR lens. I went through the white balance settings during shooting as well during processing in Lightroom but no green colours at all in my images.
Just wondering what I'm doing wrong?
