Cokin, Pro Neutral Density Grad Filters for DSLR photography

http://www.dombowerphoto.blogspot.com


In this video i show you firstly how cokin filters are packaged and how to handle them and fix it onto your camera. I then also show you the examples of some of the issues with using filters like this (lens flare and glare) (sun spots on your image) but also how it can make images look more cool.

Hey Dom, as usual i like your video. For a while i had doubt but after the example shots at the end of this vid i decided to ask. Don't you live in Edinburgh? i saw the dry ski slop, the other day was Arthur Seat and other places i am so familiar with.

Dom, your videos teach me so much and I just want to thank you so much. I actually did not know that low dynamic range cameras resulted in blown out skies, could you suggest some cameras with a really good high dynamic range? Not fussed about cost though!

Hi Dom, if you don't mind my asking where did you purchase your kit from. The kits that I have found on Warehouse express do not have the adaptor ring, they have to be bought seperatley.

ps. thanks for the Tut.

I have this cokin model but it doesn't work properly at 11mm, in fact, you can see the corner of the filter holder/adapter at 11/12/13/14 mm but it works ok at 15mm.

Have you ever compare the Cokin filter with the Lee ones? I also noticed cokin makes circular polarising filter that (as i understand it) goes into the holder. have you tried that? wonder what difference it makes compared to the regular rectangle one. my guess is the rectangle one you need to rotate the holder meaning you cannot use the ND grad. the circular gives you the ability to rotate the polarising filter while keeping the ND grad vertical. What do you think?

Hi Dom, I just bought a set of Cokin filter system and I am going to try it our,but

I just wonded when you use Cokin filter system for long exposure photography,how can I stop the excess light comes through the sides between the holder and filter into the lens?

Thanks.
