Pro 1 Question

Yeah, they were all going the wrong way. Couldn't get them to turn around. If you've gotta have red, here's a taillight one.

This was a field trip my intermediate camera class took last year.

As far as settings, I used manual, 15 seconds, F8. One thing I don't think the Pro1 has is the built in ND filter. In fact, I think the G6 may be the only camera with it in software.

The Pro1 does have a built-in ND filter.

Excellent. It is very handy in the rare cases it is needed. I wish my 30D had one.

I am a Pro1 owner, but I am curious about the G6 ND filter:

As gewb already said, the Pro1 does have a built-in ND filter, and it is a physical filter inserted with a clearly audible 'click' in the light path via menu settings.

I thought the G6 has the same feature, but leftturn99 said it is a software feature in the G6.

Can somebody confirm if it is a real ND filter or a software feature?

I found this in dpreview’s Canon G6 review:

ND Filter:
Can be switched into image path via rec menu
Approx 1/8 decrease in brightness (3 stops)

Yes it is a real filter on the G6 you can hear it move into position.

Thank you Terry

My bad. I thought it was software. I haven't heard it. Guess i drove race cars too long. Hearing loss.

Whatever, it's still a great feature.

Are yall saying when doing these types of shots we should have the ND filter on?

If you want a really long exposure, it'll help. It'll let you use 2-3x as long an exposure as you'd get without it, so longer light trails.

Oh thats great thanks Jon.
