Fence without filter

Bild von PENnyshot
The new Olympus Viewer 2 (Version 1.21) allows to apply all available art filters even to photos taken with older cameras, so the relatively new "dramatic tone" filter can finally be used with my relatively old PEN E-P2. Photos have to be taken in RAW format to apply the filter afterwards on the computer.
Here’s the photo without any filter.
Playing with ND Filters

Bild von johnroberts2
I’ve had a couple of ND filters lying around that I haven’t ever really used in anger so I thought I’d go out and give them a try today. One is a 0.9 Tiffen ND good for losing 3 stops of light, and the other a 0.6 Grad ND useful for holding back half of the image.
Anyway turned out that it was still too bright to get the effect I was after, so I’m looking into purchasing one of the B&W 10 Stop filters that i’ve been seeing used in a lot of fantastic water blur shots.
I had to ramp the aperture up to F29 to get this so not particularly happy with the image quality.
Exposure: 4s
F-Stop: F29
ISO: 100
Tiffen 0.9 ND
Tiffen 0.6 Grad ND

Just looking to see if there is any difference. The one with no filters was taken a few minutes earlier, so the view is slightly different.
