The filter tilt approach actually works. The setup is nothing sophisticated—I simply hold the filter in front of the lens with a small gap at the bottom, roughly…
Nothing major—just wanted to share a few more photos taken with the quad-band filter. This time I used only the quad-band filter together with an IR reducer (GRB1).…
I’ve written before about the strange light artifacts appearing in some of my quad-band images: diffuse light blobs above or beside bright streetlights. The effect is especially noticeable…
