I don't have a centre filter for this lense, and am wondering if I need to get one, despite their cost.

I'm also not sure how to avoid vignetting if I mount another filter on top of the centre filter (eg an orange filter) - is there a good way of doing this? It doesn't seem to be possible to mount a filter on the rear lense element, for example.

It does work here, but it is plainly obvious too.

Nothing else to add as I've no experience with center filters, except that I too think this is a beautiful image.

Rick, Zaitz and Roger - thank you for your comments and advice. This was the first time I had used this lense, as I'd only recently bought it (on this forum), and I was interested to see if I would actually need a centre filter. Somewhere I have a Lee filters holder and hood, which I rarely use as I'm normally trying to take weight out of my pack, but which might be useful now.

Lovely, Ken. I like the subtle detail in the broad layers - the patch of light in the left foreground, the wind in the grass on the right, and the wisp of cloud.

Ken Lee,

I'd bet this is one of those images that really sing when you see it first hand. The small image size the site forces, i suspect, really kills the tiny detail this image is built upon.

nice image,

bob

You may be right !

With some images, the nuances are the content. Viewing it here at work, on a non-calibrated monitor, doesn't help either :rolleyes:

Thanks, Nana - hopefully we'll see some more images from you soon!
