newbie question...how do you get your readings...before fitting and applying the Xfactor or ..after fitting...or what??
i think this could be worth a try
cheers

...and the Phottix wired remote with built-in shutter timer (when I can find mine) means I can enjoy the view rather than count pachyderms
set everything and compose/focus before fitting the filter, switch everything to manual and dial in the appropriate settings (or set bulb mode and hold the shutter open for the appropriate number of elephants )
thank you gordon...or who was it...in gregorys girl no 1 doing prints of dorothy

Looking at buying this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Glass-filter-welding-lens-shade-10-/170579926519?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27b75b1df7
How will this connect to my lens? Will I need to buy a filter holder?
Thanks!
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.
Get a long exposure filter for the price of a pint. Really!
Find out how to use cheap welding glass as an ND-style filter and shoot long 30-second exposures, even in bright daylight.
Here my first attempts! Unfortunately there was a lack of clouds...
Struggled with white balance, anyone got any tips?
Just reviving this thread now that DPM have included an article on Welding Glass shots. Expect the market to be flooded with cheap Chinese imports
Digital Photo Magazine
Well it has really taken off then. I only put it up for a laugh even though I knew it would give people a chance to experiment with photography. Checkout or join the welding glass flickr group too: http://www.flickr.com/groups/weldingmaskglassfilter/
Cheers for that - can really see the difference. Thanks for the help
forgive me if im wrong but am i right in believing that, if you set your custom white balance correctly then your images will come out without the green tint?
Im just waiting for my glass and adaptor ring to come through the post so ive not been able to have a go at it yet.
