    Calling all Landscape Photographers, filter advice needed

    Calling all Landscape Photographers, filter advice needed

    Thanks for taking the time to reply, it's appreciated. I think you and Dave have both given sound advice so for now I will experiment with bracketing exposures and blending them to see if that gives tune desired results

    Calling all Landscape Photographers, filter advice needed

    Hi Dave, Thanks for the feedback, so when you're using the 14-24 how do you handle scenes where you want to capture the sun in the image? We're very lucky with great sunsets and I'm trying to get some images where I can keep the foreground exposure but also have the sun as a defined orb, I've...

    Calling all Landscape Photographers, filter advice needed

    Thanks for the detailed reply :) I'm considering the 150mm system you mentioned though maybe better to use the 24-70mm for when I want to use the slower shutter speeds during the day? The main reason I'm considering filters is for sunset pics to remove some of the glare and get a more even...

    Calling all Landscape Photographers, filter advice needed

    I've recently started doing more landscape photography and would like some advice on filters. I'm using the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 and the 14-24mm f/2.8. I understand the 24-70 will take screw in filters but what about the 14-24mm? is there a filter kit to use for this? would there be a kit that i...

    Mortgages, feeling down....

    Feeling very frustrated today. We are hoping to buy a house later this year or early next year. I have been saving hard to build up a minimum 20% deposit. I am lucky to be in a well paid job and our combined incomes would mean affordability for repayments is not an issue. We would be looking at...

    Is execution appropriate for drugs traffickers?

    Whilst i don't agree with the death penalty and think it is wrong, the drug traffickers knew the risks of going to Indonesia with the intent of smuggling drugs. Several countries in the middle east and far east have death sentences for drug smuggling and it is printed in bright red bold letters...
