If the glass gets smashed the outside of the filter still remains attached, so it would mean no more attachments unfortunately.Well if it means you can put other filters on again, why didn't you? I'm sure a 10 stop ND doesn't cost THAT much right?
What camera do you have? - Page 3

i also have a Nikon D5100, suits my needs (beginner) though it can be a bit noisy in longer outside shots

Sandbags work really well but obviously limit you to certain shots in a lot of situations. Don't forget to set the 2 second timer.hando wrote:cool i looking at getting the same camera as i not even a beginner yet i need something relative easy to use and heard this was a good camera. The ony reason i asked about a sandbag was the transportation of the tripod a sandbag is easier to carry.
I'm confused, isn't the sandbag used in conjunction with a tripod to keep it steadier in wind, etc?hando wrote:i see alot of ppl take tripods with them is this for long exposure shots so it stays still? Has anyone used a ballon/sock/stocking filled with rice or sand as a alternative.
But I definitely recommend a tripod. I didn't have one the other day and was severely limited to long-exposure shots, by ledges on which I could rest my camera.

Learning the ropes again.
Used to be into automotive photography alot but stopped for a while.
Now starting to get back into it!
Hints/tips anyone?
Would a tripod be money well spent for a beginner into abandonment photos?
Would an top mounted flash or remote flash also be a worthy investment?

i lie, i now have the D5200 after a couple of weeks of being messed around by harvey norman. i now have mixed feelings about their Product Care Package (sort of extended warranty) i was told i would have my cam replaced with the current equivalent but when they realised that the equivalent twin lens kit was twice what i paid for the one i got, they would only offer store credit or a single lens kit. wasnt too attached to the zoom lens (barely even use the 18-55 anyway) so took the single lens, still a bit grr but have a shiny new camera at leastNo+Pro wrote: i also have a Nikon D5100, suits my needs (beginner) though it can be a bit noisy in longer outside shots
Anyway, hopefully it meets expectations. it's still in the box, gonna try some star trails this weekend while i'm out bush
My recommendation is that a tripod is invaluable, especially if you're shooting at night/indoors/underground.ERB147 wrote: Hints/tips anyone?

Flashes though are probably not required or recommended. Painting with a diffused flash light is much softer.
Are all tripods the same when it comes to mounting?d0dg3r wrote:

Had a look at a few tripods tonight....
Range between 400-600 for a tripod (well in the store i went to)
Theres gotta be cheaper ones around haha!
I could buy a new lens or a whole kit for urbexing for that coin

Good point - I am only using mine for a G12 point and shoot after all. Fortunately, it stays perky for the entire exposure time.No+Pro wrote:If you have a decent lens on your dslr maybe spend a bit more than on a $20 boob smith tripod or it may start to drop on long exposures

Thanks admin, BTW
I've an 18-35 f3.5 which I'm quite disappointed with, it's nowhere near as sharp as I'd like and I've always wondered if there's a problem with it, it just seems to flatten everything. It may also be because I compare it to my 105 f2 which is just fantastic.
I have a beaten up old Benbo tripod which is great for awkward places and a Gorillapod which supports the S5 surprisingly well.
What I really love is my Contax G2. The lenses are stunning, really contrasty and I love X-processing with it because the colours are so rich and everything is pin sharp. Who the hell can be bothered with film anymore though? I spent a fortune on it and kept it in the hope that I'd get back into shooting film but it isn't going to happen and now it's boxed up and gathering dust, ready to be passed down to my grandkids as an antique.
Fuji x10 - this little camera does a hell of a lot, and was my entry into photography.
Fisheye 2 - goddamn I hate this camera. I hate how dodgy it is, I hate how you never know what you're going to get, I hate the fixed aperture, I hate how it still somehow takes fantastic shots. Goddamn.
Just get out there and make it happen man! Even though it does cost money and you have less control over your shots, if you get your hands on some good film (Ilford black and white stuff, mmm so tasty... slide film is fun for ridiculous colours too) there's just something about it, and this is coming from someone who primarily shoots digital.Fitz-Hume wrote:What I really love is my Contax G2.

Take one look at it and it's obvious that the thing has been smashed on ladders, dropped in drains
and dragged through shrub.
Exploring these days though, the photographic element has fallen to the bottom of my list
of interests.
If you have room in your bag I'd say a second kneepad would go great with the first one. But I can understand that space is a very valuable commodity.DeScent wrote:1 Knee pad, aqua shoes

If your backpacks not waterproof, might be worth getting one of those drysacks and keeping it in a sidepocket etc in case you need to keep your camera dry in a hurry
