Beauty of Full Frame on wide angle.. Nice on bro..

Thank you Still trying to get into landscape photography, using a CPL appeared to a little tricky on wide angle... only certain portion of the sky is polarized Any tips? Main reason is for a more saturated blue sky.

get a gradient filter?

Have u try the angle of the polarizer..? Try the max degree of it..

lol landscape photography is harder then it looks right?

more budget... maybe later on I guess.

I did, just when I turn it around, can see a dark portion moving along lol.

For someone like me who doesn't shoot them frequently, sure does!

Haha same here, tried a few times to take landscape photos but all turned out so so only, nothing special

maybe u didnt position urself in the optimum position for the cpl to work fully.

Re-upload after fixing on the curves...

Looked better than my first try in my opinion. Gotta keep this in my head for the next time i deal with landscape

Any pointers on how to position myself in optimum position? Many thanks.

now looks better but duno why the green colour is kinda fake-ish for both tires.... even Aldo's some landscape green colour i also feel like i never see this kind of green in my eyes before

its got something to do with how the angle of the sun rays hit, but in general, 12oclock sun is no good.
i only use polariser mostly to get rid of reflections

My other pic the green also looks like that

Capture time : 11:33AM

Dang, next time aim for sun rise or sun set.. I'm most likely using my CPL during Super GT lol..

Last time I remember at 1/60 f/22 ISO200 I still overexpose -.-... at least the CPL is going to cut light :S.

I think the all lenses will work on modern DSLR with full AF. But need to factor in 1.5x crop.

As expected, the lenses are all infected with fungus..worst is the 70-300mm lense..can see spots in the middle since can open the aperture fully...while web like substance in the edge, by products of the fungus I think..

is it safe to reuse the backpack which I store the lenses? it's a lowepro and I don't feel like ditching it.

if the fungus doesnt effect the image outcome then it's as good as the normal one!

Yes, I'm inclined to believe that they are dust sealed also. But that would be very difficult since you have external moving parts.

Did you find the official link?

I saw the other pics too. It would have been better if you shot facing them. Pity most were side shots.

Not bad. I like it.

What CPL are you using? B+W? Use the thinnest one possible but I think you already know this...

A gradient filter is not a CPL.

It's more difficult to use wide angle and get good composition than to use a tele.

CPL on wide angles are generally tricky. The whole frame does not get polarised (i.e. one side gets polarised more than the other side).

Fake green is due to pushing the saturation up.

I too have given up on them. More so now that I shoot with the 14-24.

You still need ND filter. The CPL is not going to cut a lot of light.

Hmmm, this is tricky. I would sun the bag first and make sure it's dry.

Ring CPL only can cover 90 degree of FOV ,
remember this

guys, my d90 auto focus (built-in motor) suddenly stop working. right now i'm AF with lens. Have tried open up the lens and put it back few times still to no avail. where is the nearest Nikon Service Center from Shah Alam?

Thanks in advance for feedback.

Hi guys,

May i know the latest firmware of the D7000 (Is it 1.02) and how do we update the firmware? I tried to search from the internet but apparently we can download them from US or EU's Nikon site. Can we use them on our Malaysian Set? Are they the same? Thanks.
