[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 181596, member: 15805"] I ordered a B&W1000x / 3.0 / 10-stop ND filter last week, and it showed up Saturday. This afternoon was the first chance I got to get out and give it a try. First off, a baseline test shot at 1/1000 sec (ISO 400 f/2.8, Nikon D600, Nikkor 17-35/2.8 AF-D) . [img]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/BW%20ND1000x%20tests/ND1000xNoFilterPost.jpg[/img] I then installed the filter and tried to let the on-camera filter take a light reading. It only changed 5 stops, so I kept going until I had counted off 10 full stops (1 second). [img]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/BW%20ND1000x%20tests/ND1000xWithFilter10xPost.jpg[/img] Still seemed a bit dark, especially after viewing the histograms. So I changed the shutter speed to 2 seconds, or a full 11 stops. [img]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/BW%20ND1000x%20tests/ND1000xWithFilter11xPost.jpg[/img] Both filtered shots show a striking lack of color vibrancy, but I knew there would be some issues to overcome. Here's a 100% crop of both SOOC and 11x side-by-side: [img]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/BW%20ND1000x%20tests/SBSCompar.jpg[/img] These are just my 'preliminary' findings, and I was just shooting JPEGs to see what direction(s) I need to take. I'm sure with raw files, I'll be able to correct most, if not all, the lack of saturation and contrast. [/QUOTE]
