I found a really useful article in this months Outdoor Photographer regarding use of filters. With my newly aquired, Ansel inspired interest in film, I'm going to be using the Bronica over the coming weeks so I thought it might be useful.
The guide in Yosemite has convinced me of the creative benefits of using Manual mode on the camera, which I did throughout the holiday and thoroughly enjoyed thinking more about the shot, how DOF work and exposure compensation. I will only go back to AV and TV now if I'm really stumped...
It might be worth printing this off and sticking inside the filter wallet.
Filter Type Filter Factor Exposure Increase
Polariser 4x 2 stops
0.1 ND 1.3x 1/3 stop
0.3 ND 2x 1 stop
0.6 ND 4x 2 stops
0.9 ND 8x 3 stops
ND Graduates 1x None
Skylight 1x None
UV 1x None
Soft Focus 1x None
Close-up 1x None
If anyone fancies putting this into a nice HTML table then go ahead :)
