QUOTE(ryzan76 @ May 17 2009, 03:28 PM) i never had tamron or sigma 70300...but i had try sal75300 with raynox...the image not so sharp..... from what i can see on google.. sal75300 looses in IQ to both tamron and sigma. but comparing sigma & tamron 70-300 is quite hard as it is very much similar. |

i know ND is most used to cut down light for that smooth waterfall effect.
guys.. wanna ask.. 1. What is the diff with CPL and ND filters? any similarities? 2. CPL any good in weddings with my tammy 17-50? 3. ND filters come in those squared type cokin too but does Cokin makes squared CPL too? This post has been edited by alpha_company: May 19 2009, 12:12 AM |

QUOTE(SinnerBuyer @ May 19 2009, 12:18 AM) waa.. tiltshift effect... faking tiltshift with lens blur... nicely down~ 1. now i understand.. i get it now.until now only know that F20AM can trigger other flash... still dunno itself can receive IR signal and trigger or not... yalor.. but wen u merge 15 exposures, its already called HDR..  1. CPL remove light source from particular direction.. ND reduce light source from all direction. 2. When shooting outdoor should be good. 3. If you planning to use cokin CPL for wedding, don't be... bcoz working with cokin is slow - cokin filter itself is bulky which limits ur movement... further more u have to adjusting the CPL... really time consumig. for me cokin works best for landscape type of photography where u dun have to move fast.. 2. it will make the skies more brilliant in colour right? also land too? 3. if normal round screw type? like this one? here.. any use in weddings? 4. if say CPL doesnt have any use in wed pics.. does it effect it negatively or positively? cause i dont want to change filters that often from normal uv to cpl and vice versa. |

QUOTE(vandechrome @ May 19 2009, 12:44 AM) not pro la..based on my experience, indoor also can use, if u are shooting through a glass and need to reduce the reflection.. so it means that indoors it would have a negative effect la right..because it reduces light from 1-1.5 stops..i wanna do outdoor shots and dont want that sky to be white and washed out... and if i have cpl then i need to change it back to normal uv for indoor shots? |

QUOTE(albnok @ May 19 2009, 01:04 AM) lanusb, I do not use a diffuser at all! can cpl be turned around for effect? how to use it? i donno. i've read something that says about max and and min cpl effectI just use the built-in white card of my F58 flash. You must blend in ambient light though (ISO400 at least) so that you get an even exposure. Any white card will do, honestly. alpha_company, do not bother with an ND or CPL filter during weddings, there is no time. Unless the CPL only goes on one lens... but CPLs cannot be used on ultra-wides mind you. tanjq87, wouldn't be so sure about the new Alphas not being able to trigger off-camera flashes - there's nothing in Sony literature that suggests otherwise, and David Kilpatrick has changed his articles from time to time as more updated information comes in. |
