ND16 Filter

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Yeh, frame the picture as normal with no filter, set the exposure (using manual mode), set the focus to manual, then slot the filter in, adjust exposure, fire away.

With the big stopper, you can see nothing through the viewfinder, so the camera has no chance of metering of focusing.

Anyone tried these out?

The fixed 9 stops sound good to me

What timer remotes are people using with the ND filters?

Never mind, I picked up one of these in the end.

Looks like an amazing piece of kit. I'm looking forward to my holiday now to try it out.

The giga t pro is amazing Andy. Used one the other night on star trails. I could of left the camera for a day and it would of performed. Shame I had to stay to stop it being pinched.

One of my first shots with an old bit of welding glass we had in the shed..

From Marsden with love by GeordieClio, on Flickr

Came out okay, the colours have been edited that way. I took one shot then set that as a custom WB on the camera. The colours came out alot better, no green cast but still very cool so just went into photoshop .. hit Auto colour.. and it sorted it! ... but i still changed them to look like an older style photo anyway lol

Cheers Scott, I had a play around with it last night and realised that I am probably going to have to actually read the manual!

^^ I like that. Great result for a bit of welding glass.

I followed an excellent video on youtube. I highly recommend it. Just search giga t pro and its the most popular.
