The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

You have to use the solution too (if you want it to be effective).

You just put a couple of drops on it, then swipe the swab over the sensor. The solution is a solvent, so evaporates off. You're not using that much that it douses the sensor anyway. But you need that to wipe off all the dirt.

I suppose you could try it with just the swab first though.

 

[Niall]

Ahh right, It sounds pretty straight forward then, I’ll order it then and give it a go

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Make sure you get the correct size swabs for your sensor!

 

[Niall]

Yeah I just did a little research into that, I’ve gathered that the type 2 is for APS-C, so thats the one I’ll need.

Really like that edited shot, Niall.
Great sky!

 

[Niall]

Thanks Ben!

Took these the other day whilst I was waiting for the boat to be lifted in.

I would do as much reading up on the topic before applying a swab to your sensor. It isn't brain surgery but still it could do damage if done wrong. I have a rocket blower if I'm out and about and then swabs every so often when I get a real build up.

 

[Niall]

Yeah Of course, Sensors are quite delicate, and any mistake could completely ruin the camera, so I’ll make sure I’m clued up on it.

I think I’ll get both, then I’m sorted for the future as well.

Took this on Saturday, cropped a bit and converted to B&W, works better as it was a dull day.

Really like that blackbird shot!

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Cheers Ben.

I need a longer, sharper & faster lens. Took this today but had to crop it a lot and its no where near as sharp as i'd like it to be but I still like the pic.

Brings back memories, used to walk the dog there when I was a kid

Nice pic matey, I need to invest in an ND filter.

Took these in Bratislava this weekend, iPhone pictures, so hardly great quality but I thought they were quite nice none the less..

Stunning views from up there too!

Thanks, I’d recommend a 10 Stop ND Filter, had a 3 stop before this one and you just can’t block enough light to get these exposures.

A bit abstract, but I kinda like it!

A couple from a moody, wet, generally horrible Sunday over the north east coast, Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh....

A clichéd shot from Dunstanburgh, every man and his dog has done this one, and much better too, but here's my take on it...

Niall, could you hook a brother up with which one you've got please mate? I'm useless when it comes to filters

Awesome shot again Ben mate.

Yeah sure, Mine is a simple screw in filter, it works a treat, a lot of people get graduated ND’s and other filters that use a filter holder, but I just got a screw in for convenience

This is the one I’ve got, the thread size is 52mm (kit lens thread size), but if you have need bigger there are larger sizes

Nice one fella, will get it ordered

 

[Dunx90]

is it worth buying the multi coated for the extra £

 

[Niall]

I don’t know really, the single has worked fine for me anyway
