S.A.D

I think I have SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) in the Summer....lol

 

I'm loosing the motivation to go shooting at the moment as it seems to be raining most of the time.

 

Another from a while back of Edinburgh after sunset. Much of the glow in the skies came from the city lights. When you get this sort of cloud it can get lit up by the city lights as there was limited sunset, but some glow later on that I captured.

 

Update on the HiTech Pro Ten Stop is that I sent it back as it had a mark within the resin. I was going to get a replacement, but after trying out before I sent it back it gave a wierd colour cast that I couldn't seem to get rid of post processing. When combined with a Lee Grad it became even worse to remove.

 

I was going to do a proper write up but only snapped a few shots before I sent it back and was expecting to get another which I would test properly, but its away now.

 

The cast was somewhere between the warm B&W ten stop and the bluer Lee Big Stopper so initially I thought this was great, but I just couldn't make the colour look natural when processing. In additon it leaked light even though I had got the correct size foam for the HiTech filter holder. The filter is very light weight and and bends slightly in the holder so that didn't help.

 

I'm not sure if it just me as I have seen a good write up fro them. The Canons don't seem to be as good with colour casts as Nikons though as maybe they have a better IR built in filter?

 

I'll just join the queue for the Big Stopper but seen that the production issues should be resolved by Autumn
