[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 183600, member: 15805"] OK, had some time this afternoon for some real testing. This time, things were a bit more controlled. And I tossed in my gray card for good measure. Taken at ISO 2000, 1/500. f/11, WB set to daylight (since I placed the WB card in the sunlight): [img]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/BW%20ND1000x%20tests/Nofilter.jpg[/img] After installing the filter, and reducing the exposure 10-1/3 stops (that seems to give me a nearly identical histogram), I end up with this: [img]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/BW%20ND1000x%20tests/NoColorCorrection.jpg[/img] The first thing I noticed is it's quite warm. So I used the gray card to set the WB: [img]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/BW%20ND1000x%20tests/Withfilter.jpg[/img] After the color correction, not only do I have a more natural-looking image (compared to the no-filter shot), it looks like the colors are a bit more saturated! I'll do some more testing, but with these results, I think I'm gonna like having this filter in my arsenal! [/QUOTE]
