took some pics today but cant find the cord to upload them

 

lol

 

 

Blckd, not digging how the post processing washed out the rocks in front of the waterfall. The 2nd shot is kinda cool tho.

 

Yeah a ND filter would have helped on the 1st one.

 

how would an ND filter help the waterfall? He's not using wide aperture anyway.

 

yeah i made the big mistake of going in the middle of a sunny day...was bored out of my mind. i spent a while trying to edit that one cause it was the only one where the exposure really came out right, except for the rocks.

i need to go back on an overcast or cloudy day,

 

are you shooting in preset auto modes?

 

full manual

 

The rocks would have been correctly exposed while not altering the waterfall.

 

yeah the only filters i have are a CP which i had on there, and a UV which is on it when the CP is not, basically for protection purposes

 

i keep my UV on at ALL times. The CPL filter prolly helped u a little bit cause it stops light down a stop or two.

 

neutral density filters limit the amount of light entering the lens altogether, not just parts of the images in the resulting composition. Are you inferring that ND filters selectively effects only portions of the image? if that is what you are stating then you are incorrect.

I can only see if him using this if silk water effect was intended, then he'd need and extremely slow shutter speed on a tripod at an aperture above f22

this has nothing to do with the over exposed rocks.

 

Thanks. :D

I don't know about that.

Next shoot she'll be sitting on the floor.

 

i think what he is saying is that it would've allowed him to use a slower shutter speed to get the effect of the water and cut down some of the light on the rocks. i am sure he knows it isn't selective. NOW THAT would be a cool filter. ha ha I want a gradient ND.

 

that's the shoot i am waiting on!

 

you'd use an ND filter for silk water photos, but Jon, specifically stated that an ND filter will correctly expose the rocks and not affect the waterfall.

this has to do with proper exposure and lighting not the long shutter/silk water.

 

ah ok. i see it now. I thought he was talking bout the effects.

 

so got the guy to drop the price to 475 for the 70-200 which isnt bad. i mean B&H is 600 right now so.

 

Still too high IMO.
