Nancy Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 so i bought this filter for my camera and it gives objects such as lamps, lights, blah this effect. what do you guys think?
chris(pa) Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Star filters are a little over the top for me If you want the effect, just stop down the lens Did you ever get that D200?
chris(pa) Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 You can get the same effect, just not so over the top just by stopping the lens down I posted this shot on here before No PS or any filters used
rapperbasher Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 your a sick photographer im not even going to lie.. i wish i was good at something.. bastard..
CleanGSR Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 As for nancy's picture, I think it's a little too much. I don't know if you can increase the shutter speed or something to make it not quite so much. I've seen that filter used during the day and really liked the effects. Post up more results when you get to play with the filter some more.
Nancy Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 yeah, i shot that with the d200. so what does stopping the lens mean? how do you do that? i just set it on auto and click away. still trying to figure this thing out.
CleanGSR Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I think he's talking about he F-Stop, which is another term for aperature I believe. I'm guessing a larger aperature would lower the star effect but it might be the other way around. My camera only adjusts from about 2.x to 7.x so I play with shutter speed more on night shots.
chris(pa) Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Stopping down a lens is where you shot with a smaller aperture (larger f#) The bigger the f number, the longer the exposure, the greater the light defragment=stars D200 is auto mode FTL Shoot in A mode and set the f# to 22 BAM! Stars
