nd filter, depends on what strength you want, for strong nd filter (9 - 10 stops), either hoya nd400 or B+W nd110 will do. sad to say, there are no real cheap versions. there is the fader nd, but it will not work well on UWA.
got... welding glass plate, 12 stops $15 only
but the IQ is not good haha.. but quite fun to play with, but no time to try out very much so far
Wow... How come your welding glass does not have serious tint? The welding glass I ordered for my workers have a serious green tint.
I think there was a super green tint, but I shot raw and PP-ed like hell to try to make the tint less obvious.
... i just hope you come not because you wish to meet someone controversial, or what...
i can share that the dark frame subtraction noise reduction which doubles the time needed is VERY FRUSTRATING.
i can share briefly sometime - let's not give it any special name or what not.. after all, long exposure is not hard to do, it is quite routine after some time, as flowerpot says.
maybe can just help to short circuit the learning curve, since i had gone through a lot of headaches when taking LE photos. am sure darrrrrr and hjbyeo and flowerpot can easily impart their knowledge also, maybe they can either have something, or share as well during the same session.
problem is location and weather these days.
maybe when the weather is cleared up, i'll create a thread. there is no need to restrict any number of participants, anyone who is pentaxian and happy to come can come.. i just hope you come not because you wish to meet someone controversial, or what... but really to take away something (i hope), then that would make the short session meaningful.
i think the only thing really required is tripod.. and suitable lens to try out the filter if you don't have it (best if you have). 77mm/58mm thread size will do, since ir filter can essentially sub as nd filter. (just that colours are wonky)
will put up the details when the rainy season goes away (if it ever does).
Thanks for the info. i f there's a outing on GND n ND filter. sign me in. anyway for sat outing i only able to join after 1pm. got half day work.
second that, especially when you have evidence from other brands (who can turn it off) that it doesn't really help much for exposures less than 4 minutes.
