Saar loop at Orscholz, Germany 2010
I wish all our readers a Happy New Year 2011! I hope that this coming year will hold many wonderful photo opportunities for us.
Here also the review promised in the last photo that is with a neutral density filter emerged. Apart from the polarizing , about whom I have spoken briefly in the last post, this is the only filter that I use from time to time. This has the simple reason that you can adjust the effect of the neutral density filter is not until later in the software.
The neutral density filter is used, a portion of the image (usually the sky) to the extent to darken that are exposed at the correct exposure of other landscape in the bright lights of the picture is not complete. In my photo of the Saar loop of the sky would have been over-exposed without mercy, even though it was cloudy, as the range of contrast between the dark green of the trees and the sunlight in the clouds would be too large have been, this would probably be able to cope no camera. With the neutral density filter, but I could darken the sky go far enough, as I have kept the filter with your hand in front of the lens. And I had to look a little bit, that the limit of the gray gradient was approximately on the horizon. In the post- I had then did not really do anything, only slight contrast adjustments, particularly to the structure of the clouds still a bit of work to clear out.
way I use a Cokin filter in the strength of ND4, 121M Gradual Grey. He is indeed plastic, but he did just fine. I do not have a filter holder and use the filter easily accessible, as I consider him with his hand. It is as always with me the motto: "Keep it simple!" As I said, you need the filter not so often, but sometimes low sun or other strong light-dark contrast on a straight line, he is helpful.
I think you should use the filter also not be exaggerated. Polarizer and neutral density filters are two filters that help me to give the impression to a picture again, I had even when viewing the scene. I find it less desirable, if filters are used to alienate a motive, or just to achieve a great effect. Some photographers do this with any of gradient filters, which may even pretend a beautiful sunset, although the mood light on the ground not the were delivered. That's for me the other key demand: "Tell the truth!" Either you shoot, you should pretend you with his photos, not something that was not in the reality there, or you work artistically with his photos, but then one should say quite clear to the fact that it is art that has nothing to do with reality. So, let us not exaggerate with the photography. Crucial for a successful photo is also something else, as you have all expressed so clearly in my last poll . I agree with the result absolutely. It's time for a poll, and that will come soon. Moreover, soon followed by a review to discuss in which my colleagues Harry and Mark about Mark articles on the standard zoom lens for MFT cameras, and Harry has this very interesting details about his professional knowledge of Olympus to report and Panasonic lenses.
Stay tuned for more ... And always remember: Take photos. Keep it simple. Tell the truth.
