The green tint is hard to resolve in the camera itself, but if you shoot in RAW you can make adjustments in Photoshop / Lightbox to correct for this.

Some fantastic shots taken on this thread recently. I love the "mood" that the welding glass brings. Superb.:thumbs:

Here's one of my latest...

i'm guessing my only option could be is to pair all the photos up in photoshop, and get them printed 6x4 instead, and then cut them up. Pain in the bum!

Does anybody know where I can buy 3 x 4 prints online? They need to be this specific size for a photo board that is already purchased in a school. Photos are all ready, but I can't find anybody that will print them at this size. Any thoughts anybody? I bought some before from photobox a...

I got the Sun Sniper "Steel". Very happy! Will be much more comfortable on my trips out now, and wont look like a tourist! ;-) Will be good for the next Cambridge TP meet too! I also got the book "50 Photo Projects", so you can me to get even more creative in 2011!

It's safe to say that a proper ND filter will give you better/easier results. Welding glass puts a green tint on every shot, so you need to shoot in RAW and use photoshop (or similar) to remove the tint. However, having said that, I bought my stuff on eBay for £10 in total (glass and uv filter)...

Just buy the cheapest uv filter with the correct thread size, and a tube of superglue. Then stick one to tuther. Jobs a good un. :-)

Thanks Dave......... didn't see that thread! :thumbs:

Here is this years project......... Many many hours of photoshop involved! Xmas Card 2010 by markbingley, on Flickr

Our Xmas card for 2010. Lots of production went into this, not least of which was a 4 hour photo shoot for the main photos in my home studio/lounge! CC welcome. Enjoy, and Happy Xmas to you all. :) Xmas Card 2010 by markbingley, on Flickr

Looks like you all had a great time. Some great photos in there too. The Sally-Ally shot is superb, and the 2nd fire breather is quality. Pin sharp focus on that fire ball. Superb.

Can you put a brand/model forward as a cheap reliable set then? If you have one that works well with a Nikon D90, even better. :help:

Thank you for all your advice. I have heard horror stories about cheap radio triggers, so I will probably go for a Nissin Speedlite Di622.

These two are my favorites. You captured the homeless guy very well. Love the DoF, and the B/W conversion works perfectly. Would love to see a larger copy of this one, perhaps on your Flickr sometime? The PP on the second shot is wonderful, and really sets the scene perfectly. I really need...
