Jaapv your sounding booring again. You made it obvious from as far back as I can remember you DONT like the Naughtlux I don’t know if it’s a jelious thing or what but like I’ve said in the past. The noctilux can be used as many things even a door stop but for me I enjoy using it to its full weather it’s for photography or as a door stop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted August 9, 2019 Share #67 Â Posted August 9, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) That has nothing to do with my question about the filter. I never said that I disliked the Noctilux. My opinion on the lens is that it is wonderful and unique when used in the conditions it was designed for, i.e. low light, shallow DOF photography, etc., but that it is not really a general use lens, although it will give good results throughout its aperture range. It is simply too heavy and expensive. I really cannot understand the preference for the lens for landscape work, for instance. There are far better tools.

jaapv Posted August 9, 2019 Share #69  Posted August 9, 2019 Oh, I get you all right, but I think that you don't understand. I simply am of the opinion that limiting yourself to one less suited lens for your landscape and travel phototgraphy limits your photographic results.

jaapv Posted August 9, 2019 Share #71 Â Posted August 9, 2019 I think that there is a confusion between ND and polarizing filters here. A polarizing filter would have been great on this shot. As it is, I would advise using PPW software on it. The Velvet Hammer and Sky Darkening would probably improve it spectacularly. https://cc-extensions.com/products/ppw/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted August 9, 2019 Share #73 Â Posted August 9, 2019 Yes, but why did you use an ND filter then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted August 9, 2019 Share #74  Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Neil, the only 'reasons' here for using a 10x ND filter would be: 1. the scene was so blazingly bright that to shoot the Noctilux wide open you needed a 10 stop filter. However, no scene such as this would be that bright and one would not want to shoot this scene wide open. or 2. you wanted to turn the 'grass' into a smooth sea of blur in the wind (much as one would do with a long exposure of the sea). However, dry cut 'grass' stalks won't move in the wind, nor is there any movement here....  In other woads, there is NO reason to use a 10X ND filter here. That is what they're all getting at.  Mark 🙂  btw...nice photo... Edited August 9, 2019 by MarkP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted August 9, 2019 Share #76  Posted August 9, 2019 🥴 There is no experiment when the outcome will be 100% certain. No effect... Light bulb? Bell? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like f@cking with things to see a result........ nothing wrong with that. I once plastered my Noctilux with gearbox grease as I’d watched a YouTube on using Vaseline to blur the image but I used the last of the vasaline the night before neil  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
