    Lee Big Stopper - (Lots of ND filter)

    Is anyone else using the Big Stopper or any other heavy ND filter?

    I'm still trying to get the hang of metering for it. As near as I can figure, contrast is increased. Precise metering is critical and it seems to limit the range. I metered f32.3 (1/60 sec) on the building and water. The sky was plus 2 stops. The image on the right is per metering. The image on the left is with the 10 stop ND filter. I figured 16 seconds which, with reciprocity failure correction, is about 52 seconds. If I correct for 1 stop, the images seem to match well. I'll consider treating the Big Stopper as 11 stops for the next experiment.

    Has anyone else been through this yet?

    Yeah. I'm familiar with Photoshop. It's the place I buy my film.
