Stragith and to the point

i actually enjoyed this video, heck i enjoy all his video because they are so easy to understand. I'ts the old adage, you can please some people all of the time but you can't please all people all of the time.

Hmmm

Interesting video although I have a Cokin Z-Pro series FLW filter.

What was that again?

I noticed that the Tower colors were changed when the filter was used which decreased the overall interest on the picture and its natural look. I would rather use the first shot without the filter and enhance the saturation/contrast in the areas were it is needed.

Sheesh?

To Sheesh: I think you're being a bit harsh. Brian says to use the filter to intensify magenta skies, and he shows with/without comparison photos. While I agree the video itself is technically challenged, the info you complain isn't there, is there!

seriously?

The production quality of this piece is very poor and not up to Adorama Standards. The lighting, focus and sound are amateurish. He says what filter to use, but not why, what it does, when it's appropriate, when it might not work. The information contained in this video could be conveyed with two photos, one using and one not using the filter. You'll get nothing more out of the video.

Out of Stock

Every since this article appeared it has been impossible to find a 77mm FLW Flourescent Multi Coated Glass Filter, anywhere. [Thanks for the heads-up; I will bring this message to the attention of Adorama's retail honchos--Ed.]

Filter vs. post-processing

With so much post-processing available in Photoshop, is this filter (which obviously affects the whole scene) any different from adjusting the color profile in post processing? I'm curious since I don't know the answer. Thanks!

Confusing

Does not explain which White Balance setting was used, or why this same effect cannot be achieved using a White Balance setting instead of a filter.
