Welding Glass (£1/$1 ND Filter) Exposures

What about trying different varieties of stained glass sheets from Hobby Lobby or a stained glass store?

Not sure they have the same light-reducing properties, plus most people want rid of the funky colouring
Worth a try though, give it a go and post into another thread with your results, there's no harm in trying

Was on vacation and remembered this thread. I spent $5.96 for this filter, and here's my pro setup. These are strings from a giftbag . Thanks for the cool idea!

Hmm, that's an odd one? Does it do it to each image in exactly the same way?

I can't remember now. Most of them were so bad I just deleted them. I did clean the glass, but maybe it needs more cleaning, it has some sort of scum on it from being in the bag for years probably.

^ move your tint to +150

also, use a steadier tripod to reduce the blurred images.

I did move the tint and did Auto Color and Levels. I didn't waste much time on the color though, with the OOF problem.

One thing i've noticed about this filter is that if you don't have a completely sealed off filter holder, the post processing cannot save the final image from the dreaded green tinge.

What is this?? Looks really cool but I'm having a hard time figuring it out.

Mirox, I really like the processing on the 2nd image.

(No color correction, light leaks on this)

Great! Apart from the dreaded light leak it looks like it did well

Really? I have not found so. Light leaks ruin the image but I haven't found them any harder to process.

Crater (Hama-something) in Volcano National Park (Big Island, Hawaii). It is essentially a cloud factory, creating 'vog' or volcano-fog from sulfur. Parts of the island haven't been this hazy for quite a while, but this is active and quite cool to watch. I didn't have as much time as I wanted for a timelapse I was making, but I have ~100ish frames, and it's interesting to watch it in sequence! Not quite as cool as that E-named volcano area, however.

Here's a normal pic of it from a typical angle:

Thanks!! I had one that was less light-leaked, but I didn't like it as much =).

Thanks. I thought a crater maybe, but my brain kept going back to whirlpools out in the ocean, sucking pirate ships down to a watery grave. A whirlpool would be cool

Here is one from today
60 sec exposure

Really nice, would like to see it a tad larger though

Had a play this afternoon with my welding glass bodge up here are the results I'm not sure I've got the WB right on them though.
