Any of you guys use the Cokin filter system? Any reaction? Convenience, quality? The P-System is damn cheap and seems real versatile. I'm thinking of jumping in.

I've only got UV filters on my gear. I do have a circular polarizer, a cross-hatch, and a soft focus, but I never use them. Adjustments in Lightroom or Photoshop are just so much easier and they take me less time than changing filters in the field.
I want to pick up a Singh-Ray Vari-ND filter to fit my 70-200.
I would also like a couple of resin filters like these:

A polarizing and an NGD filter is exactly what I am thinking about doing; neither can be replicated in Post processing.
Polarizers are cool.

Drag Queens are always fun.
Scary...
Well actually one is not a drag queen.
So this is what you were doing instead of shooting better pics than those AWFUL Ice Girl Audition photos....Quote:

Spent yesterday and today figuring things out (trying to really). Haven't had a chance to do much, but tried out some of the HDR things and had some fun there. Here's two from a park near me. Comments are welcome. Tips too.

Obviously using the demo right now. Just getting a feel for it. I tried to keep both photos "natural" but get those odd colors and tones from the HDR side of things.
Going out tomorrow to get some use out of the 50mm and the 75-300. Got a few filters to goof around with as well. Might have some more posted tomorrow to blast. :)
how did you get those pics of chris pronger?Quote:
