[a1mint]

Wauw, mystical.

[mguzman011]

You remind me of Bob Ross :3

[shankdub169]

Wouldn't holding the filter against your camera cause shake on slow exposures (slow shutter speed and filter= soft water effect)?...trying to decide on whether to get a system that attaches this to the lens or just get a 4x6 handheld. Little confusing. I guess a good tripod would help but still...

[boom911boom]

Hello im takeing A levels and studying photography, could you recommend a cheap filter i can use up to £30?

[gentel916]

lol he has a shutter in the battery grip but he uses the original 1 .. hhh

[krazyhobo69]

what lens were u using?

[Dogboy73]

Great tip. I like the feathering technique. 

[Dogboy73]

@Dogboy73 .......... but is it a good idea to hold the filter on the lens by hand?! You would have to have very steady hands not to disturb the camera during long exposures. Not much choice if you using the 'feathering' technique I guess.

[TaufanDermawan]

Your voice like Kevin Flynn's voice. :D

[99sukhi88]

Can u tell me difference between p series and z pro series cokin filters??

[garbidz]

good shooting!

thanks for the ideas, I only had my gr fixed on the frame which is ugly and clumsy

next time, tethering!

[SolarSanction]

What kind of filter is this and where may I find the same one?

[99sukhi88]

I hv 5d mark ii ,, i have 12-24 wide angle and 200-300 ,, 24-105, and i also do hv 16-35 mm ..

I want to buy cokin kit , holder adapter filters ,, so what series sud i buy??

Please ??

[garbidz]

@99sukhi88

look at the Tiffen grad filter

I have a Cokin set and it is quite clumsy at use and it makes very unwelcome reflections

I ordered a Tiffen grad 77mm but no experience yet

cool it with the Cokin!

[appacana]

awesome photgraph

[robs70986987]

thanks!

[adhadimohd]

cool tips! like the feathering technique

[atyl1972]

hi, i am looking to buy a Nikon D7000 paired with either the Toknina 11-16mm or 12-24mm wide angle lenses however,

i am concerned as to which filter holder i should buy, should it be the “p” series Cokin or the x-pro series Cokin, please help I'm confused?

kindest, Andy

[MPhotoDVD]

@atyl1972 I don't know the answer to this question. Call B&H photo and speak to a sales rep.

[romanjohnston]

Andy, just hand hold the filters. I cannot stand filter holders, and you have a better chance of not getting any reflection in your filter it is right up to the edge of the lens. The D7000 should serve you quite well as a landscape rig.

[LeventEryilmaz]

@atyl1972

I am in the same boat.. which filter holer???

I have Nikon D7000 and just bought nikkor 10-24mm..

[atyl1972]

@LeventEryilmaz ok cool, one thing i have literally just bought is the Hoya 77mm Pro 1 cpl circular polariser filter, i may go for the cokin z pro series as this is meant to be pretty decent for wide angle lenses without much vignetting, or if you have the cash then LEE filters are the best to go for

[rongthienco]

@atyl1972 for tokina 11-16mm the thread is 77mm so you might want to go x pro cokin filter

however, to me, the z-pro series is already enough :P because z-pro series is equal 82 mm ring thread

[muzglimy]

haha, feathering a filter has same principles as burning or dodging in a darkroom.great tip

[a6km]

get a filter holder

[ptlofts]

on my Favourites! :)

[ThePhotostudent]

vary sweet feathering tip, keep the tips and vids coming, i love watching them 

[purpleproduce]

Thanks for sharing. great work of art.

Which tripod you using ? Also, I want to shoot long exposure with 1hour, which ND filter should I use ?

[antropoloscar]

what s the white thing he put on lens ?/?

[1440hk]

check out camera raw 6.0 in photoshop cs5 It has a feature that eliminates the need to carry a Graduated ND filter,and gives better control.

[diegocerezom]

@1440hk good tip, lightroom has a tool like this too, but I'm not sure it will work as good for a couple of reasons, the first one is that this will not work to well if you shot Jpeg you need to shoot raw and the second thing is that in some situations even if you shoot raw you might not be able to bring it back as much as you would like. Other than that is a solid substitute I use it a lot

[chriselpuma]

Is that a sigma lens?

[pakuplue]

@chriselpuma nikon 12-24mm

[nikonguy102]

Go brush you're stinking yellow rotten teeth

[reyesroland69]

is he using 18-200mm lens?

[7lovol4]

thats nikon D2 or D2x .... it has circular viewfinder nd extra LCD

[MPhotoDVD]

It's a D2X. Tony has since updated to the latest flagship Nikon.

[3GBlog]

@7lovol4 So does the D3x...you can tell that its a D2x because of the bottom left speaker.

[7lovol4]

nope..the main LCD is much smaller... for D3x it's i think 3.5 inches

[3GBlog]

@7lovol4 Nope, you cant see the full size of the lcd in the video.

[TOGZEE]

Gotta be a Nikon. See the plastic cover over the LCD screen? Nikon has that. I have a 450D, but then I am a DSLR newbee. Had I known more, I would have bought a better DSLR body. But hey, I can still get good shots, I'm no professional.

[AmateurPhotography]

Great photography!

[SR71ABCD]

is he using a Nikon or Canon 35/ 45OD Digital camera.

[pakuplue]

@SR71ABCD i bekive he is using a nikon d2x

[atyl1972]

yeah this will surely save on a wide angle filter holder and the adaptor ring too, he makes it look soo easy

[r32adt3db]

I hate handholding the filters, especially if I'm using 2 of them stacked. But once you attach the lens holder, then it's hard to feather the grad, because there is a chance of moving the camera and you pull/push.

[brynteg]

I like the tip about feathering the grad !!

Thanks

[distillex]

This picture is on the cover of my environmental science textbook

[MPhotoDVD]

I never use most of these. Out of this list I would choose the grad filters.

[barryjones2003]

hi im new to all this use of filter and just wondering if you can help me,I have got to chose 10 filters from this list and not sure which ones would be idea to start with,Hope you can help. Blue, red, ND2, ND4, ND8, orange, brown, green, yellow, pink, purple, graduated blue, graduated brown, graduated red, graduated green, graduated gray (ND4), graduated orange, graduated yellow , graduated pink, graduated purple

[samuelbrainsample]

I would say that a lot of these filters are appropriate for film use only. Your reds, oranges, greens, yellows are used in B&W film photography to lessen or heighten certain colors for B&W film. I'm not sure what your pinks & purples are for unless maybe one of them is a magenta which is commonly used to photograph florescent lighting with daylight film. The blue is used for tungsten lighting with daylight film as well. If you are using digital stick with the ND2,4,8s and graduated gray.

[craniumdesigns]

Great video. I'm trying to become a great landscape photographer, and these kinda tips, especially in video, really help.

[moonofsaudi]

i gees no need for the filter holder, Because I have a problem with finding the right size for my lens canon 10:22mm.

thanks a lot for the vid it was very helpful

[jgda9rs]

i just got one today after i traded my tobacco filter (first time ever looking into these sort of filters. the tips you gave in this video are great, specially the feathering, and how to calculate the f stops. i subscribed to your channel.

[CheezInspector]

Thanks for the tip about 'feathering'. Funny how one little tip can alter the quality of you work. Much appreciated sir :)

[qazahmed]

[alex2006168]
