There are some shots I took with the big stopper that shows a red band. This went straight to the bin but am curious if anyone knows what that is, and how to avoid it? It doesn't appear in every picture.
Light leakage.. Did u cover ur viewfinder in LE?
It has nth to do wif the ND filter , rather lights seeping into the viewfinder n wreck havou
hmm...imo you should have corrected your white balance prior to putting on the filters. That way it will accurately show how the filters affects the white balance (under the exact same WB values), rather than putting it on first and setting WB to auto, which the camera adjusted by itself and the values will be different for both filters...
he is shooting in raw... i thought it wont matter?:think:
not too sure
yup shooting in raw doesnt matter, since u can change WB in post processing.
However what i mean is that since he is doing a review on how the 2 filters affects the temperature of the photos, by setting a fixed and corrected white balance prior to using the lens, it will more accurately show how the filters affects white balance.

Could have been from the distance scale window also if you have a distance scale window... even the 24-70 has been shown to give some light leakage.
And the big stopper comes with some foam sides... did you accidentally leave a a little opening?
My Big Stopper also have a bluish cast. Since all my shots were in RAW, I went back to all of them, corrected the WB to 9040K, all the warm tones came right back.
The next question I'd like to ask is - is it possible to preset the WB (to 9040K) first before shooting it with the Lee? If it's possible, then using the Lee is just that extra step... Will try when I get the chance.
No problem with the Lee, probably just required some fine tuning (like all import cars to get that extra zoom zoom for your bucks )
IIRC, the semi-pro bodies from canon and nikon allow for users to dial in the custom WB values. i know the pro-bodies like 1D-series and D2/3-series can.
Yes, I'm using a D90 currently. And yes, you can use custom WB with this model. My point of asking is, should we just shoot it first using Auto WB, then PP later to bring the warm tones up to speed? Or is it better to customise the WB on the DSLR first before shooting? What are the pros and cons of doing either? At the moment, I can think of none... Maybe the more experienced can chip in with their knowledge...

if ur shooting raw, it doesnt matter i guess:think:
haha... age old problem. personally, i prefer to get it right in camera then to photoshop later.
if you are shooting RAW like francis247, perhaps u can stick with AWB and adjust later to suit your preference. in fact, if you are shooting in RAW and using custom WB, doesn't really matter cos you can still adjust. but, if you are like me shooting JPGs most of the time, then getting it right in camera saves you a lot of headaches later.
There is a reason why I use Auto WB instead of setting the WB straight upfront.
I usually shoot in RAW for landscape and using Auto WB allows for one additional WB to play with.
If you set to Custom from the start, you will not know how your camera will react to the filters.
