Attached is the result from a backyard photo taken with an ND 8 filter which would require an additional shutter speed of 3 stops. And even though I tried various shutter speeds with and without the viewfinder covered, they all have a milky or foggy appearance. Now these are a quite inexpensive set, but I at least thought I'd get better results than this. Oh, the filters are 3 inch square, rather than the screw in kind. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Ken
I've been working with kids building pinhole cameras for the past few weeks, so I'm hoping that my comments aren't tainted by repetitive experience over that time... It appears to me that there is a light leak somewhere in your filter system or mounting. It appears that there is clouding originating on the left side of the image. Double check that everything is fitting closely together. It won't take much of a gap somewhere to produce the clouding that we are seeing.
