Filter photography

[norbs]

I am pretty sure it caused a ruckus last time Nige posted it.

I'll give you that it is a pictorialist image. Something I like but polarises others.

[J.D.]

I guess it depends entirely on the look you're after.

You should always try to make your photos sharp but it's not essential if other considerations force a compromise.

[Gougoodthing]

Oh no!

Technical difficulty

Can't get the "bulb" option when using the wireless remote control


Presumably it will work if I buy a wired remote control?

[J.D.]

I have always used the hard wired variety and never experienced that.

I'm a Canon user if that helps.

I use wireless and it works fine. I have bulb on my mode dial though, then switch the shooting mode to 2 second delay (the same you might use if you wanted to set up the camera on a tripod and run to a group of people to get in the shot). This mode also has a little wireless/IR logo. There's no delay when using the remote though. I know Nikon shooters who use wireless too for long exposures, it has to work somehow.

I got a wired remote from ebay for my D90 and can definitely do bulb mode. The button locks "on"

[Gougoodthing]

Cheers guys! Will do some more research

[Gougoodthing]

Gotcha.

Set it all up , aperture, speed to bulb etc, then the last thing you do is switch the shooting mode to remote.

First click opens second shuts

Winner!

[Gougoodthing]

And just worked out the remote also fires the old nikon d60, meaning could fire two shots from two cameras at once.

Not sure what I could do with that though!

3D!

Third one looks like a painting ... seems like you've got the hang of it, dusk should only make things better!

[norbs]

Look great. Now clone out those dust bunnies.

[Gougoodthing]

Yep Norbs! Getting worse and worse.

Will get it cleaned in the new year.

[Speed]

Nice shots, ND filters can be fun.

I have a Singh-Ray vari ND which is awesome for what I use it for, (Edit- controlling the depth of field in portraits), but vignettes really badly used wide.....which would be what the majority would want it for, I think.

[Gougoodthing]

Looking at some photos on line, just realised less can be more!

this ones one second.

[DexterPunk]

Yeah faster moving water there. Don't really need an ND filter to do that though I'd say.

Have a look at some shots by Michael Kenna, some of his stuff is awesome.
