Butter > Margarine Also, peanut butter and cheese sandwich = tasty.

That's a bit of a shame, hopefully they're refining it a little, it would better if they could make it with a 52mm filter thread IMO....

Haha, it certainly makes me worry a little less about a little dust n my lens now!:lol:

Vaseline also works rather well I've found. :)

How do variable ND filters actually work? It seems like witchcraft.... Or is it made up of 2 x straight polarising filters?

Does anyone know any good tips or guides for getting good composition? I find I have no problems getting well focused and exposed shots, but my composition is somewhat lacking... Can composition even be taught? Or is it one of those things that comes with experience? Thanks. :)

I love number 2 also, great shot. I've been playing with Ir lately also, and it's nice to see the shots before and after the channel swap. :) Did you tweak the curves also?

Setting a custom Wb on the D50 is easy. All you need to do is take a photo of a White or grey card with your filter in place, then go into the menu and select custom Wb from photo. Then choose your photo from the thumbnail and you're done. :)

I find setting a 2 second timer on the shutter release can reduce camera shake a little when doing long exposure handheld shots.. :)

Hmm, you may be able to power a normal wifi router from batteries, many of them run from 12v DC...

But surely then you'd have to have every manual for every camera? :p :D

I have the 3GS also, but I'm really tempted to go the 4 after seeing this thread... It goes to show that often the best camera you have is the camera you have on you...

I've now got a photo of nothing but well lit grass taken with the filter on which I can choose as a WB photo. I know what you mean about focusing, it can be a bit of a pain. I have find the autofocus sometimes works with the filter on, but you need to have quite a lot of light on the subject...

Great feedback, thanks. :) I've tweaked the curves on #1 a little, boosted the red and taken a little green out so hopefully this will boost the orange a little without it looking OTT: As for #2, you're spot on. The hedge adds nothing so I've cropped it out and also cropped a little sky also:

Ok, I forgot to ask this before, when doing a white balance shot of the grass, does this need to be done with the IR filter on or off? Thanks. :)
