I bought a very cheap ND8 filter off eBay but it's shite. Wouldn't mind getting some welding glass, but doesn't it give everything a green tinge?
Horrible green tinge. Nightmare to remove. B&w conversion is the best you can hope with it. I'm saving up for a nice Lee 10 stop job. Hundred quid though :-(

I take it that's a specific thread size anarl? I don't think I have any lenses that are the same size as one another - pain in the arse.
No, its a square filter - and fits in the 100mm holder. ( more expense ) My biggest thread is 77mm I think, so it should be grand for all my kit.

Just to wade in...
I think we've had a discussion on titles before. My view is that if you include a title then people are going to take it into account when judging the photo. If you don't include a title then it's very unlikely that you'll be marked down. I don't think it's something that needs a rule against it, personally.
Which leads me onto theme. In my view, the theme should be open to interpretation, rather than be prescriptive - I think that's especially pertinant now that our themes are less conceptual. For instance, my entry this month (simply cos I don't really care for ROT-style shots) was going to be a picture of a 'No dog fouling' type sign, and the title was going to be 'Rule of turds'. It is just unfortunate that I didn't get time to go out and create this sure-fire winner.
In that instance, the title was crucial, and the photo may or may not have adhered to ROT.
Having said that, there's less room for interpretation in the latest theme, and it's probably right that any shot that features either people or skies would not get many votes.
I don't know what's worse. The fact that they've got the gall to charge £100 for a square bit of glass, or the fact that I'm almost certainly going to buy it next time I'm drunk near a laptop.
As I said this month's competition isn't about interpretation, it is about entering a photograph that shows the use of the ROT.
I will say right up front however that rules are meant to be broken and ignoring this one doesn’t mean your images are necessarily unbalanced or uninteresting.Read more: http://www.digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thirds#ixzz1FRm6V2nn

Thanks. What was the f stop? Can you remember?it was took in broad daylight and is an 80 odd second exposure, thats why the sea is also smoothed out and clouds have movement in them and i just stood in the frame for around 30 seconds, it was took with a $&&^$%&^*(()*)**^^^ filter
Thanks. What was the f stop? Can you remember?
I'd of guessed zero, still not forgiven me then.
Don't be ridiculous. I couldn't even remember who gave me grief over the photo of a photo, but I guess it was you. I am too long in the tooth to be holding petty little grudges, I said my piece at the time and that is long gone. I scored yours nil, nil and nil and gave a reason. Read what I said again, it is hardly grudging.
What is wrong with everyone, I voted for three pictures that I thought met the challenge set best, and gave reasons. I never said I am right or an expert, but I'm not necessarily wrong either. Why have a go at me, I'm not the only one who didn't think your photo failed to meet the challenge.
