No worries mate — we all have to learn sometime

Glad you are using it NOW at least. I use mine 99% of the time on 100% of my lenses when I’m shooting outdoors during the day, regardless of subject matter. Thx for the comment!

This was an excellent podcast. Thank you very much. I started using the polarizing filter all the time as you are doing. You are right, when I use my sunglasses with polarizer lens everything looks much better. So there is no reason why I should not use the polarizing filter in with my camera. It was a shame on me not using them more ofter before. My camera is a Canon 5D Mark II with plenty of ISO room. The lenses that I use the more are 70–200 is f2.8 and 50mm f1.4 which are really fast. I have no excuses for not using the polarizing filters all the time.

Hi Marko,
great podcasts. I enjoy them very much. And this one about the nd filters came just right cause I was thinking to buy one. Manly for video shooting with my 7D but now I know to use the hole advantage also for photography.
I also found an interesting link from fxguide.tv. It’s episode #74 and they are talking also of ND filters and compare different brands. Enjoy.

Very interesting and clear podcast! I’ll be pointing people to this one for sure!

One comment though: You’ve talked about the vignetting that occures with the Cokin P system. The regular P holder produces vignetting at 18mm or lower on a crop camera. However, Cokin also has a wide angle holder for the P system. This plastic holder will only hold one filter at a time (instead of 3), but is usable for wide angle lenses all the way up to 10mm (on a crop camera).

Thought I’d meantion it. I’m not a Cokin salesperson by the way…
Tnx!

Very interesting and informative podcast. I think I will make a lot more use of my polarising filter which until now I have hardly used.
Thanks.

Marko and Darwin
thanks so much for this post. It made so much sense to someone like me who is very new to SLR. Definitely will get one of these to add to my kit!

Excellent podcast Marko! Great guest, very concise info, very interesting, fantastic tips– I didn’t want it to end. Do you think you might in the future interview a guest and have a brief questions from the subscribers kind of segment (by email or forum post of course, not live call in)?

Thanks for that Zenon — but what does “Also the tips on J0K 3E0” that mean?

Thanks for that tip Jack — makes perfect sense to me.

Great post Marko, ND filters are very useful for many things, i have seen an architectural photographer using it to remove people from the scene, since the day was soso, and there were some people walking by the building, he used ND filters to make such a long exposure that all moving people simple didnt record in the final image.

Darwin & Marko,

One thing is for certain there is no substitute for a ND filter to help you get those shallow DOF shots on a bright sunny day.

Great podcast Marko!

Great stuff, Marko. It really helps to sort out all my questions. Prior to this podcast, and after driving the salesperson crazy with questions, I bought a Singh Ray LB warming polarizer. One step in the right direction. Thanks too, for all the links to Darwins websites. Ha! Ha! Now the next thing I am going to drive you crazy with is about exposing to the right.
