18.11.08 - With or without? Yes, yes, this nice question of conscience from the title to me is now when I want to use my Knipp box. It refers to the screwing of the polarizing filter (yeah, who has carefully read the blog, knows that this is a pair of sunglasses for your camera).
Why the not always have on it? Well, as with ner real sunglasses and the filter absorbs light and has neatly alongside a few other effects, which act partly beautiful, partly ugly. And let everyone know what you mean, there's now a collage with comparison photos, left photo with filter, without the right photo. For each image was so busy Filter announced screws.
can now also be assessed each time for yourself what looks better. Sometimes the polarizing filter also exaggerates, or leads to vignetting (shading in the border area). However, I've always turned to him "100%", so full filter performance. Those who now asks to exactly how the sky really looks like here in ATL, I can say that it is precisely the middle of two pictures ;-).
The reason why I have squandered all of Sunday afternoon for those ne comparison images lies in the fact that I apparently have no right touch with the filters. After me, the first indeed been destroyed by the blow, the camera almost complete, the second was very stubborn to use and has seized up twice on the new lens. After all, a quality product, and so I wrote to the manufacturer (
link to Schneider Kreuznach ). After only 2 hours came the reply that they wanted me to replace the filter in any case, I will send it again. Grmpf. Package to Dtl. , No pay! So even the shipping here in the U.S., where I had bought this, written and described the situation. And then we went back Ratz Fatz, reply was not even 1 hour later: new filter will be bagged and include a prepaid return envelope for the drunks sent immediately to me. Two days later, he was also there. Now it was hard to make images look and that is fine. And yet it is he is much easier, everything fine, supiiiii.
How isses currently otherwise? Well, it's been freezing cold! Today It was not over 5 ° C warm, but fortunately, always seemed the sun and it was hardly any wind. But still, today I was again run in Piedmont Park and it was deserted. No trace of the masses with the other iPod through the pant area, only a few pet owners were away. The cold seems to deter many people are much, keep everything just wimps, hehe.
Sun and now there are steaks, like the one here in Amiland,
Tschülü
EDIT: Yeah what the heck is the very right bottom in the collage? Well, what looked at first like an attempt entpupte American humor, as the latest environmental pollution Ammis idea. It is a huge billboard! Man "writes" by Kondesnstreifen aircraft in the sky and the wind blows it away then the writing side, so it looks like a giant treadmill in the sky. Disability Action is clearly the long run. It took about 30 minutes until the times were up there and done we really did not get out now what it was. Because no one was there the whole 30 minutes and has watched what to write everything. As I say only: missed goal!
