you can buy them the right size for a cokin P holder from maching mart, i just use my lees stop filter which doesnt have the problem of reflection accross the filter (like you can see to the right of your picture)

i was going to bin most of my filters dan if there any good to you, landscapes do nothing for me at all, they have to be processed to death to make them look intresting, and once you've done that, you cant sell the picture!

As always your photos are immense mate.

But I'm confused as to what ''welding glass'' means?

basically he uses some glass from like a welding mask to take the picture through that was my understanding

yeh, i have a few grads ND's and coloured, a 10 stop, and ND 2 4 and 6. have pretty much the same with cokins too as well as some effect filters, soft and spot focus, starbursts, and god knows what else.

I'm not a fan of loads of PP'ing, so i try to get the picture i want off the camera now. i'm not against pp'ing, it's allways been done, just as you know, what used to be done in the darkroom is now done on photoshop, i just think it's a fine line between re-touching and becoming a graphic designer.

i'm more intrested in getting it right off camera than i am spending 1 2 4 or 10 hours sat in front of photoshop moving sliders about.

i have no isue's with people who do that, just i would rarther be out with the camera than in with my PC

You take the dark glass from a welding mask and put it on the front of your camera lens, which basically allows you to take photos which would only be possible at night, during the day.
