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

^^^ Nice additions to the thread. Do you use LR? If so, slide that Tine Slider all the way to the right and you should be pretty close.

Thanks, yes I did use LR and I slid the tinge slider all the way to the right it was getting the temperature right that was tricky for me.

There's always Black and White

There is only Black & White when using this!

I am very keen to join this interesting thread. I am taking Anke's advice and I am going to buy a Lee set-up. I think I want a three or four stop ND glass and a graduated ND. Not sure whether I should go for a soft or hard grad or what strength?
Another big problem is that nobody seems to have what I want in stock. The wait continues....

Anyone been out using their Welding Glass this week?

Hi Guys. Very interesting thread this. What sort of lenses are you using, and settings for this kind of work. Also nice to see some local peeps.

I weld as part of my job, so im really interested to give this a go with my Canon 450d.

Cheers all.

Wayne.

Hi Wayne, I have used the glass with my 10-20 lens but you could give it a go with any lens I guess. I use Bulb mode with an aperture between f8-f16 and time the exposures to between 2 & 3 minutes.

As you're a south-easterner come and join us in our SE-UK thread - the more the merrier!

The link is in mine/Chris' (Anke)/Matts signatures.

Hello Wayne, Mike has said it all really, I usually use my 16-35mm lens but any lens that can fit a piece of the glass will be fine. Hopefully see you in the UKSE Thread to meet some locals

Cheers Mike. Ill wander over and have a lookie there. I only have the standard 18-55 IS Canon lens at the moment. But im looking into getting a Sigma 70-300 OS APO lens in a couple of weeks. Also a Manfrotto 190xprob tripod, so i can do some still life stuff.

After this thread, i might also have a look at making something to hold the filter and that can be fitted to any lens. Im in engineering so have all the necessary tools.

Ahh yes of course, one thing you really need is a tripod

Cool! Make sure you post pictures of it too

I suppose you want something with interchangable collars for different sized lenses?

Sounds good I use the Lee Filter System personally.
