Got a break in the weather today, but it started raining as soon as I put the rig on the TC, so I snapped on quick pic and packed up.

^ Pics look sharp, but the crop is too tight. Get a longer pole and you should be good to go.

filter woes...

i pretty much need a load of new stuff. i broke my hoya hd cpl recently so need a new one to replace that and i also need nds.

i have a lee filter holder that was given to me but i haven't bought any filters/grads for it yet. do you think i should go for slot in nd filters on top of of the cpl (whatever one i get) or junk the lee and go screw in nd filters?

also, has anyone tried the variable nd filters yet?
