D90 + 50mm + SB600 damn light compare to D90 + 116 + SB900

Posted in other thread, but wanna spam it here too . One of my favorites at the moment~

dunno where to reply..haha..btw.. why not take off ur uv filter for a moment during that shot? btw the flare seems look fine to me..

is there any differet single coated and multi coated? mine is Kenko Multicoated UV filter..

not wide enough la, UWA meaning something like Tokina 11-16 f/2.8

eee very nice..

I removed the UV filter for this shot already, I took one shot with the UV filter and wow the flare was all over . So took it off but still has some flare.

Multicoated? HMC series? I have 3 different filters on my lens, one is the single coat UV filter, one is the Hoya HMC (Haze Multi Coat) and last the Hoya HD (also multicoated). The normal Kenko UV is terrible when compared to the HMC or HD! The HMC is cheap and good, I use that on my 50mm, and the Hoya HD on my 70-200, the only advantage I see of the HD is that much easier to clean, does not smudge as much as the HMC.

I also want to get an UWA! But don't feel like spending on a DX lens =(.
Thanks bro for the compliment.

true2..but d90+116+sb900 is oso damn light with im using for fashion show :: d300+mb10+70-200VR+sb900
come back home can feel develope some little muscle after 3-4 hours of shooting..

not sure HMC series or not..but mine look like this one below..52mm..



btw..regarding lens.. can we use DX lense on FX body? thus the picture quality poor or not? future plan might want to own a full frame body.. thus buying non-DX lense will be advantage i think..isnt so?

can post your other photo you took with the UV filter? wanna see how bad the flare is. this one not bad mah actually.

i also wanna share silhoutte photo

DX lens on FX body means it will auto crop the picture. The FX will change to its DX more, 5MP or 8MP only if not mistaken.

The case looks different from my Hoya HMC, should be similar I guess.

Aiya bro, I deleted it on the way back to Melaka. Cause the flare is really horrible .

thanks for the explanation..need to learn more..

Nice pic! Is this at batu berangkai?

I've got a few pics to share and need some guidance.....can't seem to get a nice pic with nice clouds....is it possible to take clear pics of the sky without the CPL filters?

Adjusted the sharpness and contrast slightly:


Clean pic:

You probably need to either HDR, or shoot 2 pics, and mask out the nicely exposed clouds. The dynamic range is just too high for DSLR's sensor to handle.

can we use ND filter instead of trying HDR? ND filter seems gud for this kind like Vampyr3's picture..isn't? correct me if i'm wrong..

btw..saw a forumer sells now round shape ND filter (like uv filter one).. seems a good deal..

I think for this condition, should be using a GND, graduated neutral density filter. More info here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduated_neu..._density_filter .

ouh.. GND it is..thanks..dunno there are ND and GND..

CPL filter would suit more for skies instead of ND. ND is just like a piece of darkening filter, you'll end up making the whole picture dark. with CPL at least you can make the skies stand out more. or maybe you can try a combination of CPL and ND

is there any different usage of Circular and linear polarizer filter?

sorry for another noob quest..

haha i dunno about that but i haven't seen anywhere selling linear polarizer filter before, always see circular.

ok2 ..but seeing picture sample in the net..i think GND is more preferable to capture the sky..i think so..
