haha i dun mean to use it as portraits shot. but use that as example of one of those over expose sky.

Yeah... Like Masked Rider!.... :bsmilie: But it is possible though... provided your angle is wide enough and your subject (gf/wife/friend/kid) is far away from you. More like a vacation portrait than real portraiture... It will be some blue into the otherwise, dull white-yish sky.

 

[kriegsketten]

dude all ND filters are stained la... colored glass.

Haha! Okay okay, that practically irons out whatever doubts or curiousities I have about ND filters. Arigato! :bsmilie:

 

[kriegsketten]

The multicoating is meant to reduce flare, and for some scratch-resistance.

Got it... some probably uses Nano-coating as well...

hmm.. ya..

anyway that is sth interesting.. I think I shall go experiment it to see if its really practically to do it even though as much as i still find it very very weird to use it for portrait.. =/

Urm... use soft edge one okay? Not hard edge GND... or else that would look REALLY weird like you've suggested. :bsmilie:

I rather use ND than GND to do potraits, but i the the help of a flash to brighten my subject..

Really? That's new, what's the purpose of doing that? Care to share?

hmmm.. duno.. but its worth trying after all, we are using DSLR. unlimited shots.. Never try and experiment we will nv noe if its really possible.

i think portrait ya ND shld be ok rite?
"better" then GND, else face half black half white

hmmm.. I think there shld be a way to do it nicely.. its juz a matter of how..
Since lightings at the top will be decreased. There is a need to make sure you know how to control the lightings..

Like the mask of Zoro! Or Green lantern! :bsmilie:

But really, I'm curious what can you do with ND for portraits... I would think polariser would be more useful instead?

Today I feel like dropping by Canon Showroom to molest the 60D... ;p Hopefully they bothered to clean up the nose grease on the screens... *yuck*

Part of updating my knowledge of latest DSLRers we have around us. :sweatsm:

lolx.. I juz started as my gf keep pestering me to take nice photo at nite. Especially places like MBS all these. I realized its a pain in my butt cause I only haf one flash bang and its hard to control unless I got 2. sian to the max. I still need a few hundred more test shots to try out and see the outcome.

Lol! You need a macro setup for two flashes already... :bsmilie:

Wah, that means you visit the showroom often too? :bsmilie: Shoot until battery flat... MAN... you do keep them busy don't you? :bsmilie:

I don't always drop by even though I visit Vivo almost 3 to 4 times a week (for business related activities). But once in a while I get chiu jior and feel like getting to know the Canon system a bit more... To know the pros and cons when compared against the Nikon systems...
