As the topic suggests, this thread is all about Singh-Ray filtered shots! Whether if it's the warming polarizer, the combo filter (CPL + Color Intensifier) show us the pictures!!!

I'm thinking of getting one so I hope some folks will contribute shots as well.

Here's one with the combo filter:

Singh-Ray 77 mm Vari ND Duo Thin

2 stop reverse ND Grad + 3 stop ND grad:



Vari-ND:



Vari-ND:



2 stop ND Grad:



Plus a lot more - I keep several Singh-Ray filters in the pockets of my cargo pants which I always wear when I am shooting.

I'll chime in my Singh-Ray Vari-N-Duo is almost always in use, these are all with the Vari-N-Duo at different ND Stops and amount of Polarizer 77mm mount standard not thin mount.

awesome! Singh-Ray is teh awesomeness! (it's not quite as exaggerated as they have the pics on their website, but none the less, great as well!

Wonderful idea to start a thread on that topic, and thanks to everyone who contributed pictures. I have been contemplating the purchase of one of those filters, but was always discouraged by their price, and the fact I never got a clear idea of the results (besides the pictures on the Singh Ray website). I think my next photo purchase will be the Zeiss ZE 21, and that this would probably be the occasion to also think about one or two high quality filters, so I am very interested in seeing such pictures.

D300 12-24 f4 Singh Ray 77mm LB CirPol

Keep them coming! Thank you for everyone's contributions! It almost seems like Singh-Ray's website is a little "gimmicky" as it looks as if those images on their websites were photoshopped to get them the way they are!

here's a small personal request: can anybody take some comparison shots? one with, and one without?

Here's an example of the benefits of the Vari-N-Duo which added polarization to the neutral density. Both shots taken with Nikon D300, 24 PC-E, 8 sec at f8. The only difference was a twist of the polarization ring. The important point is that you can leave the reflection 'in' when desired for those landscape shots over lakes.

Please note that vignetting occurs with moderate shift of the 24 PC-E on my D700. I have the standard (not thin) version. Regardless, this filter is a must for my landscape work. dave

Take a look at the Singh-Ray blog, http://singhray.blogspot.com/ , written by various contributing photographers (including yours truly).

Many of the 100's of blog posts will show you before-and-after images using various Singh-Ray filters.

I have quite a few examples of images using Singh-Ray filters on my personal blog, http://www.sojournsinnature.com/blog/?author=1

Here's an image taken with a trio of Singh-Ray filters - the Gold-N-Blue Polarizer, a 3-stop GND, and a 4-stop ND.

wow, gold in blue... looks pretty awesome! thanks!

Singh Ray is quite simply - 'THE BEST". I have and frequently use a full set of GND's - 1-3 stops soft - 1-3 stops reverse, the Vari-ND & CP. If you have questions or complications to what you are trying to achieve with filters - call them - they are most helpful.

My passion for photography is to be in the field - using the equipment for the conditions presented at the time. What I dont' enjoy is sitting in front of a computer - blending, fixing & patching - wishing I would have gotten a better exposure. I find the less I have to do to a raw file in post - the better that image looks. Some image scenes lend themselves to blending - most do not. If you're passionate about landscape & nature photography - don't leave home without them! JMO!

Is there a "general purpose" nd filter that users could reccomend? I am not trying to be cheap, but would like to start my adventure with just one....

Great captures!

I wish I will know how to use filters soon ....

Wow, this makes me really want a Vario-ND even though I almost never shoot things other than sports.

All of these are fantastic, but Vern, yours really stands out. Great job, everyone.
