Great filters. I remember WAY way back, when I was a Pro photographer for decades; how handy polarising filters were! (and 1B skylight filters too, which I always kept on the lenses, to also help protect far more expensive glass!)
I remember using Cokin coloured filters, also, and I still have a graduated ND filter that I haven't used for years. In some ways, it was more fun before digital. Just a lot more expensive.
@@BrisbaneChannel Oh yeah; I still have a few boxes of various sized filters. I agree mate, or at least - it was far more challenging, having to not only worry about the cost of film, processing etc (I did my own B&W and Cibachrome developing and printing in the make-shift darkroom), but also actually getting out at the right time i.e., 'the golden / magic hour' to get the right light, whereas NOW; most anyone can do it on the computer, at any time, from the comfort of their chair!
@@BrisbaneChannel The concept of variable ND filters has me SOLD! I haven't used (nor heard of) Kentfaith before, but then haven't purchased anything but a 1B skylight filter for years either! - I scoured through my collection of filters, but nothing for the lens size I have now...If YOU recommend them, that's good enough for me mate! PS: Found one a fair bit cheaper on ebay, but wasn't convinced it wasn't a chinese knock off, so for the extra money; purchased via the Australian outlet, as didn't want to risk picture quality. Thanks for putting us all onto them!
@@BrisbaneChannel No; I went for the 'Nano B series' which the discount didn't apply to (I tried your link first)...Thing is, they automatically sent me the welcome email, which I didn't see until AFTER I purchased; I think there was a tiny discount as a new customer, but not the bigger discount that was emailed later...
I have the K&F magnetic ND with magnetic lens caps on 2 of my lenses and I love them, I don't have to screw on a filter every time I need one and the lens cap has a smaller profile than normal caps meaning I can squeeze them in to my small sling bag more easily. Good quality for the price! Definitely my best camera accessory purchase so far.
Back in the film days I pressed my polariser filter into action a bit to cut down the light when I wanted longer shutter speeds. It’s not what I had the PL filter for originally, but it did the job. These days with ISO control you’ve got some limited control but not like an ND filter. I’ll check them out - that’s a good price !
Yes, ISO control is something we really take for granted in these days of digital. I remember having to predict what you'd likely be shooting for the next 24 or 36 exposures and picking the film for that. But ISOs only go so low, so the ND filters really come in handy.
@@rauri1077 Cheers! I panned for the timelapses by putting my gimbal on a tripod and programming the movement into it so that each incremental shift fell between each exposure.
Adam, I found this video very interesting. Is there anywhere here in Brisbane that you would recommend in teaching cinematography and learning how to better use cameras?
I know there's TAFE courses and JMC Academy near the Cultural Centre, but that's mostly full time courses as far as I know. I could give you a few lessons if you like. Just shoot me an email if that's something you may want to look into.

really helps me move from photography into videography..thank you
@@YAKOMOCLOUDS I made the same transition when I started this channel. Do let me know if there's anything I can help with!
@@BrisbaneChannel ta thanks
This is just what I need...thank you
@@YAKOMOCLOUDS You're welcome! I'm glad to hear it was helpful to you.

Yeah, the magnetic filters are a great idea. Have you ever had an issue with them coming off?
@@BrisbaneChannel never had an issue, they’re very secure that’s for sure

Love the comparison of Timelapses. Would love to know how you did those, I’m not the best at those. K&F have some quality products. Nice video mate.

@@BrisbaneChannel learning from someone like you would be cool. Reportage email the one you use?
@@breathedeepandseekadventur7302 I have three that I use. The Reportage one is fine.
