Or, I Shoulda Brought A Longer Lens.
I am trying some hard edge GNDs here. They work better than flipping the soft edge GND, which is a bad idea if you can do better. I got some Vu brand filters that were on closeout at B&H and they’re stellar for the price. Key here is for the price. They’re actually neutral, and I was able to use them with the reverse GND to good enough effect.
The sky was quite bland today. One of those days after a front moved through where the visiblity was unlimited, so I should have grabbed a long lens, or my 24-70 at least, to take advantage. But I was in a hurry and still had the 20 on, so I tried to get pictures with birds in the frame to add some interest. I cropped them to 8×10 and dumped them to jpeg. Behold!


Not much to see here, really. But I need more experimenting to know how to use these things, and the pictures aren’t gonna’ take themselves.
