Landscape Some more filter fun!

Some more filter fun! · 04:40 PM

Some time ago I posted my first results from using my 10 stops ND filter over here. One of the photo's even ended up in the premiere selection of the Pentax Photo Gallery! A few day's ago I returned to the same location and arrived a bit to late as the light was really fading away at the end. As a result the first photo was rather underexposed. Anyway, these are some of the results.

Cheers,

Remco

amazing!! BTW. Where is the beam of white light coming from in your last picture?

causey · 11-01-2012, 06:49 PM

great, great, great! all of them are spectacular, but 1, 4, and 5 are magnificent!

**Bob Harris** · 11-01-2012, 08:34 PM

All great Remco, #1 is a knockout for me even if underexposed as you say. What f/stops did you use or recommend and how long are the exposures generally?

slowpez · 11-02-2012, 01:26 PM

Beautiful images. You did a great job and, underexposed or not, the first one is as gorgeous as the rest.

Nice shooting! The 16-50 is my goto lens 75% of the time. It's just so handy and sharp!

Thanks eryson! That beam is created by the exhaust fumes of a jet airliner.

Causey, thanks! I'm glad you like them.

Thanks Bob! Normally with normal light late in the afternoon, evening or morning F8, and a 30 seconds exposure ( with the infrared/wireless mirror up function) with 80 ISO works alright for me if you focus carefully. If you don't you usually end up with a part of the photo out of focus. The third photo is a good example of not focussing carefully because only the stuff up front is really sharp. When I started out shooting that afternoon, I was shooting with a pretty strong sun in the frame and a stopped down all the way to F16 to maintain a long shutter speed. It is a trade off because you run the the risk of introducing some diffraction problems with the overall sharpness of the photo. I try to stay between F8- and F11 for landscapes.

Susan, thank you very much!

Thanks! The 16-50 is the first quality lens I bought and is my most used lens to. But there are times I achieve results with the DA21mm that I can't reproduce with the 16-50. Strange isn't is?!

But especially with the wet climate over here (and the fact that my ND filter only fits on the 16-50) I have absolutely no regrets about buying this lens.

Cheers,

Remco

Awesome from top to bottom. Got myself an ND just a week ago but as of yet no real good opportunity to try it out properly. Looking forward to it even more now, inspired by your work. // Nick

A total pleasure to view! TFS

All evocative images, but the fist is the best for me. It has an end-of-the-world kind of look to me, very surreal.

**Sailor** · 11-04-2012, 07:05 AM

Every one of these is a gem, Remco. I especially dig the first one.

It does have a bit of dramatic feel I agree. You might like these ones to: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/post-your-photos/189848-misc-filterfun.html
