thank you ever so much, rather excited to try this type of shooting, 90% think im going to go with a 10 stop now :)

cool thanks martin, so im guessing with the filter off if your getting an exposure of 1/4 then with the filter on you would aim for a 4 min exposure? (is that right) think ill have to shoot in bulb mode as max exposure i can get in manual is only 30 secs

thanks guys, think ill go the non variable route then and just get the 10 stop filter and see how i get on :) edit, one more thing after you have framed the shot do you take it by putting the camera in Av? to calculate the length of exposure?

hmm now you got me thinking back to the 10 stop hoya...... if focus is not that critical, im not fussed about taking it off to compose the shot....

my front end does indeed move when i focus :( why would i not get this shot with a variable? this variable hoya goes up to 8.5 stops http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hoya-58mm-58-mm-Variable-Density-3-400-ND3-ND400-Filter-/271596148251?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f3c64561b

That is very nice Martin! id go for the 10 stop straight away if my focus ring did not move when focusing :( if i had this one id have to remove each time i want to focus, with a variable i will be able to just turn the variable to focus which saves on unscrewing it which means less chance of...

sorry for the late reply, must have missed the email notification :( i have the one where the focus ring moves with the filter attached, i know its not ideal but all i have to work with at the moment, not that im into pro togging, its only a hobby for me love to hear from any one that wants to...

Hi guys, for a while ive wanted to get an ND filter as i love seeing these shots with milky water and clouds, it will only be for my canon 18-55mm kit lens as i wont be getting a decent lens for a while so i only need the filter in 58mm size, dont get me wrong id love to splash the cash on one...

Sorry for the late replies, only just got in from work :( These are types of files produced with a program called PixInsight, its an astro photography program for processing and stacking, i would be the happiest man in the world if i could only view them as thumbnails in explorer as this is all...

Hi Ian, thanks for your reply, I just love using explorer, its all I have used and its so easy and im use to the layout, I like where it groups my types of images as in RAW's/JPEG's/FIT's etc, ive been using faststone to view my RAW's but that program does not allow me to view my FITs or video...

it does not allow me to view my RAW's in explorer....
