Welding Glass (£1/$1 ND Filter) Exposures - Page 3

adam LC · 19th of October 2009 (Mon)

It's interesting to see the shots used with the welding glass. I probably would have bought one myself if I knew about them. I can see that it'll take some good processing to compensate for the colour cast. In the meantime; I'll put up with my ridiculously expensive B&W 110 filter

Keep posting peeps!

Ahh

I tried this with my welding glass a while back and I got wicked color cast.

Maybe because I was taking a pic of the moon.

Nothing that PS or LR can't compensate for. Try it again on a normal scene

Seems my holder isn't wide enough .. Time to modify it me thinks!!

I saw someone somewhere stick an old UV filter with the glass missing to the welding glass with superglue. Then you can just screw it on

I did think of that last night, not sure if I trust super glue to bond glass & metal .. Lol

Just ask yourself: what would Blue Peter do?

Sticky-backed plastic?

Ooh...I just had a thought, I could make a hood out of an old washing up liquid bottle...

Yes, and we need pictures.

The weather out there just isn't playing ball for some decent long exposures.

I now have mine fitting into the holder ..

I basically shaved the bottom filter holder runners away and removed the nobbles at either end so it sits perfectly flush .. Just need to find a decent way to secure it from sliding out now!

Lovely DIY solution, Matt. Very helpful for others.
I'm sure some elastic bands will hold that right on.

**Hides & waits for the postie!**

Hopefully I can get some nice long exposures of the Dorset coast using it next week!

Mike · 20th of October 2009 (Tue)

Cool, I look forward to those.

Here is my first attempt, it seems a little oof, least I know it works!

I solved the problem of the filter slipping out by gluing a strip of rubber band to one edge so it gripped it in place!
