Hi all Discovered today that my UWA sigma has a rear filter holder! But i am struggling to find something suitable to fit... can anyone kindly point me in the right direction for a 6-stop+ ND gel filter please? Further advice on these types of filters greatly appreciated!

They are trophys I've collected over the years for my cars along a window ledge, where I took the shot. My cars are too low and small to set up a tripod in and use a 300mm lens :LOL: Anyway, the composition was not important, the weather was not great and i had receieved some new filters which...

Interesting! I shall have a look through the settings and see if mines one!

Right! I have been out again for a quick trial using everyones advice! No shaking! Happy days! Used the UWA, set to f/8! I did 12 exposures at 3 seconds long because my 6 (and a bit!) stop filters aren't enough to stop the light getting in and my goal is to do a lovely image with loooong...

OH!! :rolleyes: yeh no im ashamed to say i thought you were referring to the big black splodge at the bottom! What is wrong with my brain this week?! :LOL::LOL::LOL: (sorry!!)

Ahh thanks for taking the time to do this! I will have a trial tonight, itll be interesting to see if its dust bunnies or dirty windows, because i usually shoot at around f2-4, so i wouldnt see them anyway! :-o Oh the one at the bottom is the top of a mini trophy my car won, and its reflection...

I cannot remember the exact model but it is a Manfrotto, cost well in excess of £100 (on offer) at the time I purchased it BUT it is carbon fibre (i was travelling a lot so wanted something light) i appreciate this isnt great lol... i was no where near the tripod at the time the photos were...

:LOL::LOL: ...what is a dust bunny? As in (like a previous poster said) sensor dirt? If its the grubbiness you are referring to, I think it is just because it was shot through a window that has recently been ravaged by rain and aggressive crows :LOL: (like i said, this wasnt meant to be a...

Thank you :) I will try a proper setup, on hard ground, NOT through a window and with my UWA :) Probably at 30mm as I think my cokin holder will cause vignetting at anything wider ... anyway I will share it on this post for feedback, and hopefully I will be happier :giggle: Really grateful for...

I am sure the children will love this experiment! :LOL: Lesson learnt tho, it had never crossed my mind that the carpet and floorboards would have been the cause!

It must have been that then! I am gobsmacked how sensitive it is! :eek: I will try it out properly tonight on some slabs (outside!)...and I will be digging out my UWA :LOL: and NOT using a stupid f number :angelic:

I dont know if you can see the second photo? I have posted two, that appear large when clicked on on my computer, but with the qwerks of the internet it may not be the same at your end? Anyway, one is most definitely blurred, and its definitely motion blur NOT OOF, so the window issue isnt the...

:LOL: Fortunately it wasnt meant to be a "nice shot", I Was just experimenting with my new filters so i wasnt too fussed on this ;) Yes there is no tripod collar, i was only using at 80mm, however it is one big chunky lens so i can see what you mean on the shaking. I do need to look into the...

Glad its not just me :LOL:. Thats great advice, Ill remember that!! :)

yes using a tripod. and yes I'm talking real dribble tonight, 3 hours on the m6 crawling does that to me haha ;) im not sure what it is but the shutter seems awfully loud with this one lens...I tried manually focussing and that helped a tad (I think that the slightly clearer photo was the locked...
