[teerex]

Vortex
If I'm appointed discipline master, then with the link you posted. I think we should assign you as our scout.

You want a Santa Claus? I know how, but you need patience to catch him. He comes round every Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays every week. He also come around on the first Wednesday of every month. Try and catch him, GOOD LUCK.

Yes mostly at wide settings, I have not removed the UV filter as such you will see vignetting on the photo.

Thank you Dennis, I knew I bought 67mm filters.. :bsmilie: Your webshots account doesn't show any EXIF information as such I'm unable to determine what (mm) you shot at. Were they all shot at the wide end on the Sigma?

If only I could persuade my parents to buy me that early Christmas present, a 77mm R72 filter. Maybe show them a few of your photos. hurhur

Anyone see a head floating around the branches? Can be used for the movie Shutter.

Hi hosea, that is great, spooky yes but COOL :thumbsup:

No lah, still too much to learn. Don't forget there are lots of gurus here who are just watching.

If gurus are out there watching this space "hi guys".
How about a comment or two. We would be most happy for your input :thumbsup:

Hello Hosea,
Nothing I would be proud of so far with my S602; I am waiting for my IR filter to arrive for the 20D so I will continue my learning with that.

By the way, what would be the outcome of using an RM90 IR filter.
I am curious as it is in a different spectrum I believe :dunno:

I hope I got the RM90 bit right.

When I can match what you guys do, I will swim over and show you :bsmilie:

didn't see any follow up on the sigma 12-24...

I've tried taking IR before and at home I have a IR gelatin filter and a cokin P series filter, but its such a pain to use with the Cokin P series, so I have got the wacked idea of cutting the filter into the shape of the hood and then stick it in between the hood and the sigma 12-24 lens. it does fit, but focusing is such a pain cos by the time you take off the hood and put it back, you would have messed up the focus.

. then I lost all interest in IR cos I got digital IR action but i haven't gone round to play with it yet.

in anycase, is there a way to color a black and white IR image?

Yes mostly at wide settings, I have not removed the UV filter as such you will see vignetting on the photo.

I didn't notice the vignetting on the photos until you mentioned them but they didn't appear on all of the photos.

May I ask why there is vignetting taking place? If you were using a smaller sized filter for a wider lens then it would be understandable but because of a UV filter? How does it come into play here? :think:

If you don't mind my asking, which camera did you use with your Cokin filter?

Instead of cutting the filter to shape and it the lens hood, could you not remove the lens hood from the lens, focus then hold the Cokin in front of the lens and shoot.

I have tried the IR action (don't know if it's the same atn you have) but still prefer shooting IR. But perhaps you may like the effect of the atn.

Hey Prablo,
Me just learning how to float.. Sorry, I'm not sure of RM90
Think IR man is using RM90.... maybe he could give you some feedback, heard it is a damn good IR filter. Any guru can help to give some feedback??

Hey, this is really good.. just like this IR color..share with me your PS flow ok?
Can pm me if it is too long a process to post here.Thanks.

I am using a Hoya Super HMC Pro 1 (suppose to be thin) on the lens. Lazy to remove and stack the R72 on top hence the vignetting. Too thick liow. I will remove the UV filter the next time. Maybe they did not appear on all the photos because some may not be apparent due to the photo itself, some corners are dark.

Thanks for your compliments Dennis and Hosea. Glad you guys like the pics. We still have not seen anything from IRman yet.

A very simple pp. 1. Auto Levels. 2. Red and Blue Channel Swap. That's all.

Use your D70 on our next IR outing. BTW how were the shots that you asked me to shoot with your CF card?

Hey ,your pm is over the limits..cannot pm liao
I wish to know how much of Red and Blue did you swap to get what you have. Oops forget about that shot.. let me search for it.thanks

I see, thank you Dennis for the reply. I wasn't aware that vignetting could occur when you use multiple filters together. :think:

It sure is a hassle to change the filters all the time, a blower could come in handy to keep dust out of the lens. Looking forward to the end of my exams and an outing with you guys. :Bsmile:
