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

some great results on here people impressed!!

i have a BW ND110 but i bought it years ago when i first started out in DSLR's with my 450D so i bought it in 58mm filter thread..... of course, all it fits really is the kit lens on the 450D!!

it will fit the 50 & 85 f/1.8 on the 5D2 but they obviously aren't wide enough for beach/landscape stuff so i was thinking of trying the welding glass so i can use it on the 24-105 - as it is now if i knowingly want to go out for daytime long exposures i have to just take the 450D/kit which is a pain!!

That's pretty cool.
What software did you use to put that all together and make it interactive?

HDR was created with OloneoHDR, panorama is stitched with Ptgui, final picture is uploaded to the 360cities.net

Looks very cool

is the WB/tint easily fixed with welding glass??

i find with a b&w nd110 setting tungsten wb in camera does a pretty good job!!

Yes, with white balance lens cap.

Had a right pig of a time trying to get the colours near on this shot...still not that close. Anyway, this is a shot looking towards the town we were staying in on holiday:

With a name like Mike Green what did you expect..

It takes a lot of doing to get significantly reduce the green color cast so the colors look more natural. Turning the color temp down toward the blue and the tint toward magenta helps, but you probably need to desaturate the green completely also.
What software are you using for PP work?

If I may, I might also suggest removing the wires, especially the one across the top.

I'm PPing with LR3 on my laptop which chugs a bit when running - my main PP machine is back at home and I'll have another try at some stage on that. I kind of like the vintage feel this one has though...

Thanks Chris...not so radioactive, rather a bit bloody cold!!

I like the tones Mike it does give it as you say a nice vintage feel.

First try with the welding glass, maybe not the best subject boats tend to move a bit with the long exposure. All taken with a 7d and 15-85mm #10 weld glass

Mike the tones in that pool are awesome, Lovely colour!

Nice, and to be honest I think it looks better the more the boats move as its more unnatural.
