n/p

yeah, I just don't see myself doing it. I'd rather pay to have it done by people who know what they are doing. btw I have never been much of a DIY kind of guy. That should help explain where I'm coming from. It's a combination of laziness and a general desire to not break things (I've broken enough things in the past).

 

Just leave the dust there and call it an artistic effect.

 

oh, a wise guy.

 

How long have you been visiting Ramblings? Did they change the rules while I was away?

 

you talkin' to me?

 

Last I remember, the main requirement for Ramblings was being a wise guy.

 

man, you think I was being serious? its a stooges reference man!

where have you been anyway.

 

(I've noticed your absence, btw)

 

You two going to start poking each other in the eyes soon? Because if you are, I want it on youtube. Thx.

 

just picked up a B&W ND110 filter! Hello daytime long exposure

 

That looks like how my 1D looked like, until I got one of those rocket blowers. Removed about 75% of the junk on my sensor.

Gotta love the pre-anti dust cameras. Never had an issue with my XTi and 40D.

 

Ahh explains alot...

 

nice! I just finally got my 4 stop Hoya Pro 1 Digital yesterday

 

we just may
very nice, good. I look forward to seeing some dark and dreary cloudscapes!
oh good, I don't feel as bad, I thought that was like, REALLY BAD. also you know FF attracts more dust just because there's more area
well. I should say, there are SOME things I am not into DIY. But there are many things I am totally DIY. Like settings, modifications, any kind of customizations, I do it from scratch whenever possible.
nice now I want one too! next up on accessories list I suppose.

 

You know with digital, are those filters necessary?

Cause I've taken some great waterfall shots with ISO 50 on my 1D...

Just saying, camera companies could create lowed ISOs


And yes I know there is less dynamic range at ISO 50....

 

depends on light really. in bright light even ISO 50 will not save you. if you want long exposures that is.

 

Yes but then there is ISO 25 then 12.5(?) 6.25(?) etc etc

 

Each 1 stop less. Allowing longer exposures

 

on what camera? most modern cameras go down to ISO 100. Nikon used to be 200 until recently. Also, generally speaking a camera's optimal ISO range is 100-200.

 

... Did you not read my post?

 

I did. you said there is ISO 25. I asked on what camera.

 

obviously you didn't

 

there's never going to be ISO 25 (or lower), that's why I didn't see it nor comprehend your suggestion thereof. In our lifetimes, at least.

 

just an idea man geez

forget I even said anything...

 

all good.

in the future, I see the whole concept of ISO going away.

 

maybe i shouldve gotten this instead of the eye-fi... at least it would actually work with my touchpad

so I have 32 brand new 2700 batteries for this event. I'd say I've learned a valuable lesson.

 

It is seriously easy... Just don't reuse old swabs and store them in a safe clean place.

Besides if you mess up you only wreck the IR filter. Then you can just get the IR filter removed and you have an IR camera.

 

I just can't do it. I would be so mad at myself if I f*cked it up.

 

Chicken!

 

 

Nyack, nyack, nyack...

I've been around, just not really around here. Probably will not be around for too long either. Life's been busy - mostly in a good way - especially with the baby.

Nope, I got my hand up between my eyes.

Damn... 10 stops is pretty hard core.

Nice. I need to use my 3 stop more often. Just need to detach it from the CPL its stuck to.

Digital only gets you so much. Plus, the ND filters can be used with strobes for portraits to get shallow DOF.

I was going to say wuss, but chicken works, too.

 

 

yeah, it's purely for daylight long exposures. And wouldn't you know it... I get it last night and Vancouver is forecast to be clear until Sunday I was looking forward to some long exposure shots with clouds

 

always the way isnt it? This past spring I had an instance where I could have used one, so I just put it in the back of my mind. Finally pulled it to the front a few weeks ago. I went with Hoya because Ive never had an issue with my Pro 1 digital CPL, and they are considerably cheaper than a B&W

 

Opps.

 

They should use the 200-500 lens to look for it!

 

its not green anymore?

 

damn sirka 32 new batteries????

ever considered a quantum turbo battery? i upgraded my old turbo and got it recelled and repaired at quantum hq down the block from me.

If your interested pm me I throw it to you for a good price. I got a turbo 3 now =) but the turbo lasted me a whole day at 1/1 for a wedding lol...
only reason i got the turbo 3 was it has two flashes out put =)

 

it looks dark green in the pic.. color didnt come out too well
yeah, I think I'd have to consider something like that for the future. I only used like 8 batteries lol. maybe 12. The 580 continued to give me the firing trouble, even with the brand new rechargeables.

I'll pm you.
