At the end of the video you said ''minor adjustments'' does that include enhancing the blues or did that come with the exposure ?

[rytterfalk]

@krazyhobo69 It's an overall saturation boost.. none specific color selected.

No mirror lock up and shooting at f/22, any landscape photographer knows thats just wrong

[rytterfalk]

@sergiodsm What matters is the result! Especially true in photography.

[sergiodsm]

@rytterfalk

you are right, and f/22 and no mirror lock up on long exposure shots will results in big loss of sharpness, google "lens diffraction" good video exept those 2 things you should be extremly aware of while taking this kind of pictures, i use Lee filters myself

[rytterfalk]

@sergiodsm Mirror lock would likely not change the outcome at all, as the exposure is seconds long! (that first shake is a minor thing counting the whole exposure) - Lens diffractions is taking away sharpness, very true - but that's a price I paid in order to get the results that I wanted - I could have used some more ND's but that would steel sharpness as well. The result IS still sharp.

Hi Rytterfalk

I just wonded when you use Cokin filter system for long exposure photography,is there any excess light comes through the sides between the holder and filter to affect the exposure?

[SwimmingUpCurrents]

Thanks for the great video! Is the filter visible on the edges of your photos? It looks like the holder was too small for the wide angle- or maybe the black is something else?

Good video. I will start using the Cokin holder with the filters.

@ICanSlightlyFly May I suggest you look up a person who goes by the name lilkiwiguy87 here on youtube. He has a great series of videos on photography. He gets into lens filters and what to look for, how to clean lenses, how to clean lens filters etc.

Hope this helps,

Just a quick comment Cokin have been around for many years but after 40 years of photography I am still reluctant to use Cokin Why?.

Because after spending a bucket full of money on a high quality optical glass lens why should I want to put a piece of plastic in front of it. optically flat glass filters yes but never plastic.

Wonderfull shots.

intressant video.. letade efter lite bra ND-filter videos o hittade denna.. den berättade en hel del mera än jag väntat mig o nu är jag så sugen på att köpa mera filter, blev speciellt intresserad av ND8 filtret, tack för videon! :)

[ICanSlightlyFly]

Hey :) Do you know the best way to clean these filters. I use a lint free cloth and have scratches on the filters. Any ideas?

[Nicky282820]

@rytterfalk Hi I cant find a neutral density 8 stop filter, with no graduation! could you point me in the direction of where I could get one? Please and thank you :)
