Whew lads, I read to read through a lot of bickering to get to the next question.
>>2975617I use a holder almost all the time, if I don't have time for a holder then I'll be waving the darkslide in front of the lens.
>>2975635I explain the process better in this blog post about a third of the way down:
http://www.alexburkephoto.com/blog/2016/3/28/metering-and-exposing-color-filmEssentially you wave a black item over part of the frame, like a black glove or a darkslide. If the exposure time is 4 seconds and you have it over the top for 2 you will have done the same thing as a 1 stop GND. You would have to wave it over the top for 3 seconds out of the 4 to have the effect of a 2 stop GND. This is real handy for mountain valleys or items that don't have the shape of a GND filter horizon.
>>2975720Thank Grant. It would be very interesting to see in person what is going on in the Dakotas.
I really do a rather crude sharpening. I just go to filter>sharpen>unsharp mask and do about 90%, 2px radius, and a threshold of 3 or so. Your method probably can achieve much better results.
This one is Provia
