Skylark Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Is what I use. Modern equivalent of the now deceased Cokin brand. Not the best but good enough. Be very careful as the plastic filters are easily scratched.That's just a generic copy, the Cokin filter brand is still alive and well, perhaps just not widely available in SA. JXV 1

Taps Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Karkloof yesterday. The sky was very bright so decided to take a pic with the sky blown out, and tree silhouetted. Colour saturation reduced to almost zero but not a true B&W. B&W not my forté so comments appreciated. Fruity and JXV 2

Madone69 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 hi guysthere is some awesome pictures here. a suggestion: would be nice to have the photographs settings posted and whether they are raw or processed pictures.
Veebee Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 hi guysthere is some awesome pictures here. a suggestion: would be nice to have the photographs settings posted and whether they are raw or processed pictures. I think almost every shot will be processed, some less than others but most will run it through some basic adjustments. I always shoot RAW, and to be honest, settings won't help you much as every scene requires different settings... for landscape it is quite simple as you will shoot aperture mainly between f10-f16 [find the sweet spot of your lens], and iso on the lowest to avoid any noise.

Veebee Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I smaak this Vivek Have you tried to lift the shadows a bit?Might kill the atmosphere of the pic though Thanks Bland. intentionally left the shadows this way to enhance the golden bit that was lit up at sunrise. Escapee.. 1

nazmo Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Love the fact that you used settings. I see you using two bodies? one cropped (for reach?) Great pics btw. Amazed at the background blur even at F8, I never shoot longer than 150mm lol Edited August 28, 2015 by nazmo Veebee 1
Veebee Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 thanks. yes crop sensor for the extra reach. full frame for landscape and then also low light nature/wildlife shooting when I need to boost the iso to 6400 or more. I hired that Tamron lens to test it out, wide open it lacks some sharpness and f8 is about the sweet spot of that lens. But key with those shots is that I was really close to the birds and the bg was quite a distance away. I have just sold my canon 400 prime and bought the sigma 150-600 C this morning, needed that extra reach when using the 5D. Off to St Lucia next month so will get to test it out properly. nazmo 1
