DIY

I saw a post on POTN 'Welding Glass (£1/$1 ND Filter) Exposures' thread, where a poster had modified a cokin P series filter holder to take a piece of green welding glass, and here is my take on it.

The original scan of the negative on a flat-bed scanner, resolution was not up to what I was expecting and there was a lot of dust from the scanner platen.

This is with a light meter app on an iPhone 4, that I used to base the exposure on to get the final image.

Image processed with the 'Judy Howle' preset in Silver Efex2.

Image as shot with my 450d and before any conversions taken place.

Negative image inverted so that it looks like a normal image, then straightened and cropped in Ps6.

A quick shot showing the set-up I used to capture my 5x4 neg.
