Share photos taken on your Note 8!

Now that is nice. Always rated the Alpha's. Although I'm a Canon guy.
I'm actually considering going back to film. Fancy doing prime lens black and white photography. Not sure I have the skill set for it though, might be a steep learning curve.

I miss my digital slr from Canon. May consider getting another one.

You sure look like you have the skills bosshog, go for it! I've always flirted with having andark room at home to process my own film

I want to do comparisons against the latest phone cameras to see exactly how much better the slr is, compared to the teeny sensors in the phones, and under what conditions.

The LG v30 has fantastic manual controls that are so easy to use, so I'll do a few comparisons of that as well. The photo thread on the v30 forum isn't nearly as lively as this one and I'm not seeing as many skilled photographers over there. Hope kj11 will permit some v30-slr photos in this thread!

Hahaha. I think you've earned that.

I still have a beautiful Nikon D80 with 2 lenses... haven't picked it up since my Note 7. Just too much to lug around.

Our real tree died prematurely so we pulled out the old backup.

Ok guys i need some thoughts on an experiment I'm trying to run.

Here's the situation: say you are out in daylight and want to take a nice blurred photo of running water. You lower the shutter speed to 2 seconds. Lower the ISO to 50. Since our phones have fixed aperture we cannot increase the fstop so the photo is always going to be terribly over exposed.

The experiment I'm trying is in these over exposed situations, can adding ND filters rein in the exposure?

Take a look at the following shots. All shot on a tripod as shown.

First is full auto so you know what the scene looked like.
Second is 1/8 second, ISO 50.
Third is 1/2 second, ISO 50.
Fourth is 1 second, ISO 50.

I'm using a stack of 3 ND filters - nd 2, 4 and 8 for each shot. Even with those stacked filters my shots are still very over exposed. Don't get me wrong, the ND filters are helping, as confirmed by the exposure meter on the view finder. But its just not helping enough to get exposure to zero.

Any thoughts on what we can do in these situations? Continue to stack more ND filters?? Buy a DSLR with adjustable f-stop? Lol

Good question. I managed a 1 second shot to smooth some waves recently as it was taken at near dark.

What filters are you using mate?

On my Canon DSLR I would use a Lee Big Stopper 10 Stop with the below crib sheet.
