after years use my Canon 5d … follow me to countries, beaches, volcanoes , mountains, forest … etc … and finally it giving problem … and need to go for full check up … I would say I have make full use of it by full test on salt water, poor environment (dirt, sands, cold, hot) … etc
Reverse GND …
beside GND, CPL, Big Stopper .. another filter that always with me is Reverse GND … and I am using Singh-ray for quality capture (it produce very less color cast as Lee Filter do)
when this filter been use ? (many ask) … as dusk/dawn time the sun always stay near horizontal level which make near horizontal level over expose and make details lost ….
horizontal near sun area lost details due to the overexpose and not able to rescue by the GND filter …
so with the GND help … I can balance the horizontal level exposure and recover some details as shown
hope this simple share will clear … most of the question from my friends .. “when RGND need ? ”
few more sample of RGND capture
you just have to trust your tripod ….
to capture a beautiful photo, it is not just skill, luck … but we need to have right tool … e.g. of condition below .. we really need to trust out friend – tripod … [my gear – Tripod – fotopro]
Fotopro PGC-78c – Bigger for wildlife, bird .. taller
Fotopro M-5mini PRO – easy to carry and pocket size …
FLM Fiction Ball head – stability, fiction control … firm angle without fall down after lock ball head
Fotopro CT-5A – a new concept of tripod combine Mini M5 I share previously and MGA-584N … = CT-5A
Fotopro PGC 484 – a travel tripod only <850gram only (without ball head)
Fotopro T-series T64c/T74c/T83c – new design better stability, better sand proof …

18 days to say good bye to 2011 .. but base on the recent weather .. I almost can say … my landscape gear need to be rest for the moment .. the weather just bad for any outing , most of the time we just have grey but nothing …
