Playing around with a new 9-stop ND filter

Reading IDR at 4pm on a busy day LOL






Not up to some of the standards here though! (Is it kushti who posts amazing landscape shots?)

[j.o.s.h.1408]

looks awsome. nice shots. love the last one

[g8ina]

Some really promising work there josh, I'd clone the lamp out of the Big Ben shot though

Tfboy, more promising stuff, how about a try at night so car lights can be used ?

And Bob, great high key shot sir and thanks for the comments re wildlife.

Question for you - if I'm getting results like this with my existing Tamron 28-300mm with macro, would it be worth me getting a prime 105mm macro or similar ?

Your Tamron with macro is really a lens with close focusing, rather than much magnification. A real macro will allow for magnification, while the focal length determines how far away you can shoot. If your favourite subjects are already magnified enough with the current lens then a dedicated macro might increase the quality a bit, but you wouldn't be using the main selling point of the lenses. If you want super close ups of the same subjects though, then go for it!

its difficult to get shots of Dragon/Damselflies so being able to get that close was great!

Tamron is macro from 180mm onwards isn't it? so you'll be sacrificing distance by going 105, meaning you'll have to be super sneaky when it comes to insects. but the 105 is supposed to be razor sharp (15cm minimum focus distance as well).

shot from today with the Sigmalux @ 1.4

Love the expression on the guy´s face! Great shot!
