Very beautiful, I really like the resume point decentralized !! Hello Phil. Molto bella, mi piace molto il punto di ripresa decentrato!! Ciao Fil. |

I tried using my polariser and a slightly slower shutter speed but without success. ND filters are less expensive than I expected and are possibly a good way in to a different kind of photography for me. I look forward to seeing your sea images tomorrow!
Off out to the camera club shortly - another competition evening. One of the images I submitted is 6 years old, so I'm not sure how well received it will be but we'll see.....It's an image that can't be repeated, so I thought I'd see how it fared! |

Not sure just how expensive you thought NDs are Ann, but 100 quid seems quite expensive enough to me! Cheaper ones create colour casts and other problems. And if you want one to cover your 10-24mm ultrawide and don't want severe cut off in the corners, then that's serious money. Castle Cameras don't sell these larger filters any longer, either.
Good luck with the competition Ann, have a good evening.

Hmmm...that is rather more than I thought!
Thanks and have a good evening yourself, Tim! |

Ann - You didn't say what 'without success' meant? Was the shutter speed still too fast? Was the exposure wrong? As I said, this is a tricky genre and even the best can get it wrong, only fixed by practice and repeated attempts. The Lee Big Stopper is 100 quid on Amazon and is by far the most well known pro ND. You've then got to get the filter holder AND an adaptor for each differently sized filter each of your lens has (ie 77mm for the 10-24mm). David M uses a HiTech which he says is better but is still that price. You can get screw-in circular filters but don't forget with a 10 stop you cannot see anything at all through the viewfinder - it literally turns day into night. So, screwing a filter onto a lens that you have had to previously perfectly compose, because after, that will be impossible. And as for exposure, well that's as vague as a Labour leader's fashion sense - there are guidelines, but it's all down to utter guesswork. My results from Portsmouth will take some editing - the colours will be wrong, there are spots from where the light has leaked in and exposure is very uneven across the frame. My ND is not a Lee and costs half the price, but boy, is it a pain in editing to try and correct it! I don't post up what I consider the failures - and there are far more of those than the other kind in this genre!
I'd at least wait until LPH and get your macro lens. You probably won't be interested but an online place where I have bought 3 lenses, including my Sigma 105mm macro and 35mm f1.8 DX (both mint) /www.mpb.com/en-uk/used-equipment/used-photo-and-video/used-lenses/used-nikon-fit-lenses/nikon-af-s-85mm-f-3-5g-ed-vr-dx-micro/sku-87065/ an 85mm f3.5 Nikon macro VR. Its condition, as per the description, means that it can be seen as being pre-owned and the price reflects that but it would still come with their warranty. This company are really good, in an efficient way and are based in Brighton. Cos they're solely online their prices are a little cheaper than shops selling secondhand - not as cheap as buying blind on Ebay but not with the risks either. |

The images were greatly over exposed, so shutter speed too slow or aperture too wide. I tried quite a few settings but couldn't seem to get it right. I've deleted the images now, so don't have a record of the settings I used. I'll have to leave it now until LPH, as I'm heading off tomorrow.
I'd heard that Lee is the name to go for and I know of the Big Stopper but have no practical experience of one. As you have previously said, I'm sure I'll find out plenty at LPH. The filter they showed me at CC was a grey circular Hama ND filter for just under £45 but, from what you say, that could be tricky to get right.
Thanks for all this info, Tim. The online place may be useful as it offers a guarantee - I would never by second hand lenses 'blind'. |

Avoid Hama filters. They fall to pieces. Keep a regular look at MBP (Matt Barker Photographic - yes a real person in charge! (it's in my favourites) as their stock changes frequently and they are probably the largest site in the UK selling secondhand online and I know personally several people who bought from them with complete satisfaction and ordering and delivering simple, you can even state which day you want it delivered. Efficient but not manned only by computers! (They also have a couple of Nikkor 105mm's VR, at rather more) |

Ok - thanks - you've been a big help, Tim! I'll take a look at the site and compare prices with the 'new' price. I'm feeling a macro lens would make a very good (early?) Christmas present to myself! :) |

| sent on November 10, 2015 (3:31)
I'm glad you found it all useful. I would still retry your time exposures with a polariser, you were presumably on manual exposure and you would simply work through the shutter speeds (at smallest aperture and lowest iso) until exposure is correct. It's better when the light isn't bright too as you can find the highlights still burn out otherwise. It's kind of fun experimenting - but only if you finally get a good result, but by doing it methodically, you will get there at some point! And yes, an early Christmas that you'd actually really want! |

| sent on November 10, 2015 (3:43)
I needed to allow myself more time than I actually had. I'll certainly give it another go when my time is a little less pressured and be rather more methodical about it. Off to bed now - a three hour drive tomorrow! 'Night, Tim! |
