Hi. As we know, circular polarizer cuts down haze and reflections. There is another use for it, if you haven’t known it yet. It can be used as a neutral density filter by cutting down the light entering the lens by up to two stops therefore allowing us to use wider aperture or slower shutter speed. This would be equivalent, more or less, of using, say, cokin nd 4 filter. We would then be able to have the silky effect of waves or running streams or waterfalls. An example would be of Breanna Bowman’s Mossy River at www.jpgmag.com. Cheers.

i’m sorry for writing so many journals lately…i don’t like to hog your activity monitors but i enjoy feedback, and it’s great to share photography-related stuff with someone who doesn’t look at me like i’m speaking another language when i talk about camera equipment. :) oh, first of all, i have a picture up for a little contest: would you terribly mind going and voting for it? the website seems to be mostly funny shots of dogs and kids, so i wondered if my nuns-buying-lingerie would have a chance. they put it up as the first one though. i get like $50 if i win. :) / See the voting list here – my image is called ‘Translation Not Necessary’ anyways, i am just really excited about a couple of new things i have gotten in the last month or so. i was given for my birthday: a Hoya R72 (near-)infrared filter, a Hoya .4 ND filter (or whatever is the mid-strength version), and today as we were casually shopping at Circuit City, my wonderful boyfriend bought me the circular polarizing filter i’d spent the day looking at. we just happened to see it as i took my customary stroll through the camera-accesories isle, and i am almost giddy with excitement to put all of these to good use. not all at once of course, but i will be doing a lot of traveling this summer and hopefully seeing a lot of amazing landscapes, both mountains and seasides. i am incredibly excited about all the opportunities available in my own little midwestern town as well, and have been very encouraged and inspired by a lot of art i’ve seen here. the wonderful photographer Simon Gladwin has given me some excellent tips and direction in the area of my IR work. (so far i have not come up with anything Bubbleworthy – it’s been really windy here and longer exposures have NOT been doing well.) if anyone has any tips they would like to share regarding usage of any of these three filters, feel free to post them here! otherwise, i appreciate your readership – and your taking the time to check out Simon’s work if you haven’t already.

I recently purchased the Ray Flash Ring Flash Adapter, and i love it! The cost is just $200 US (available online at Samy’s and B&H). I have used the flash on one pro portrait shoot so far, and the results were excellent. I’ve also experimented with different settings and subjects outside. Also great results. ETTL works just fine. The unit is one solid piece, so it’s a bit awkward for packing in a camera bag, but I got mine to fit after some maneuvering. If you’ve wanted to buy a ring flash, I encourage you to give this one a try. it’s a great alternative to the more expensive models. Glennis
