Hey Dave they came out pretty good mate and the mono suits
in english?
Ryanuk I did say that effort was pretty mediocre and the reason for showing was to show that the welding glass method was a viable one, if you had been reading the welding glass threads you would have seen I couldn't get out to shoot anything truly worthwhile due to the fact I had the dreaded Swine Flu so only had the view from my bedroom. Ho hum I suppose better luck next time.
The things that don't move are in focus the trees and other stuff like clouds aren't because it is a long exposure.
Dave how are you using it? fitting and settings?
Um f 5'6 focus place the WG in front take my shot set my WB then retake but they always come out OOF
You will need to set your focus manually I shoot at f11 @ focal distance of 7ft. I don't use infinity I always move it back to about 7ft on my 12-24 lens. Not sure what you are taking shots of but f5.6 is a bit shallow, try f11-16.
:bonk: I'll try F11 focus to about a third in if you know what I mean and I think I'll just use my NF Ive been using elastic bands to hold it in place but with the kit lens it seems to move a little as I attach it thus making OOF
Here;s mine from today - a slightly different view than Alby
Oi Dave, im not happy! where are the fossilised animals I so love your photo's for?????
Oh I see the bands are pulling in the extending barrel of the lens in causing it to miss focus :shrug:
How do you all keep your filters safe and scratch free when not in use? I've had a look on ebay for a suitably sized plastic case but had no such luck so wondering if anyone has had any bright ideas to keep this cost saving solution undamaged.
I had an old welding mask in the garage with a number 11 shade, so popped the shade out and went to the beach this afternoon to try it out. Not too great but I'm hoping to get out later this week for a proper play with it
iso 200, f11, 49 secs
think i'm just going to super glue mine to a 77mm adaptor ring, the cokin holder is more trouble than its worth. Hopefully this way I'll be able to focus and not have to worry about ligh leaks once its on.
Hope you don't mind Alby but I had a play with your 'test' shot and came up with this: -
Two more from me; first 10 stop HDR'ish (it's the future people! ) a combination of a 30, 60 and 120 second exposures, just a shame the sky was so naff, I'll go back on a good day.
Next, a two minute exposure for this one (I even quite like the blown sky and light leaks)
I was looking at those images thinking 'what the hell is that?!' then I realised that it's the building with the rotating cut out section ?
I'd love to see these used in a busy city center during the day.
Hi I thought I had posted this question but cant find it, what is glass welding in photography
Light leaks are the hardest thing to sort out if using a cokin filter holder, Light leaks, I had plenty of those
Where is mine you promised me Dave, thought you would have popped it round Do you do them in any other colour ? You said that would do the trick and I think you've cracked it.
Guys, how can I hold this peice of glass infront of my 400d with 18-55mm kit lens?
Cokin P Series Holder?
