10 stop

Caister beach, 

Just testing my 10 stop filter

I love it!

Hi Pdspic - I keep looking at purchasing a 10 stop, just not sure I would use it that much and can't make my mind up to buy some extension tubes instead, but I do like the top picture

Hi Pdspic - I keep looking at purchasing a 10 stop, just not sure I would use it that much and can't make my mind up to buy some extension tubes instead, but I do like the picture on the left.

I got my filter from srb photographic for about £20 extension tubes cost about £35 so why not get both?

OOOOOH!

Milky Water! ;-)

Strange as it may seem to some......I actually like these because using the filter on the sea makes it appear as a low mist, adding atmosphere and mystery where none existed previously.

The Milky Water that bugs me is when waterfalls and fast running streams are made to look totally unnatural ......a little speed blur yes......but not solid dairy products ;-)

Still not got over it eh?

 

I like the first but find the second a bit tight in the frame.

[Black Pearl]

Monochrome them and they will be even more dramatic - agree with Bill the second one is very tight.

...I'm trying to figure a rational argument against that, I not too sure about the cheaper extension tubes (although the filter sound good)

I love that first picture of the mist around the rocks. I have to say, I have never seen mist that low before (sea frets, yes, but those are more like fog than that 'early morning mist in the valley' kind of mist you've captured here).

the tubes are quite good,..look for kenko or vivitar, 

or these ones, with metal mounts. still cheap

there is no glas inside, I think the mount is the most important . If you really want to spend more just get the lens instead. but I think this with the filter is a great buy

Nice work, --What make is the 10 stopper?

I'm still amazed at that low mist on such an otherwise clear day - I'm assuming it hasn't been Photoshopped!

Over the last 4 weeks I have been looking at both ebay and Amazon for Kenko tubes simply because they are metal not plastic - they usually end up in the £80+ range. I blame you entirely for me now purchasing a set of the Mcoplus tubes  Although in fairness the reviews are all good - I'll let you know how I get on and I'll now consider buying the 10 stop. Thanks for the heads up

the shot was taken In the water between the rocks,.. as the tide and waves were coming in I did a 30 second exposure with a 10 stop filter.

So the movement of the water give that misty effect

So I disappoint you,.. it is not mist

Chris! Chris!

I wanted to tell you, but waited until the OP did......

It is the ( to me only ;-) the dreaded ......Milky Water.....

Thing is, I really like these.......tis only waterfalls that get ruined by long exposures.

I like it because it looks like mist. Milky water (unless it's genuine motion blur ... which I notice your B&H expert didn't tackle ) doesn't do anything for me.

[NannyFerret]

Love the shots.

SRB are very good. I bought lots of square filters etc. for my film camera some years ago

[Black Pearl]

Thanks for the heads-up regarding SRB - good prices so I feel a 10 stopper coming my way with a stepping ring or two for compatibility. 

Be easier to deal with than my welding glass too.
