Streak filter!

[Shawn Nelson]

Had fun with my Epic last night shooting something for a contest. Used my RPP 50mm and the Filter Gallery blue streak filter for a few shots. Here is one shot sans filter then two with.

For those interested, I entered the Adams Arms photo contest. You can find my picture on their facebook page.

How much does this filter lower exposure? 1/2 stop? 1/4? 0? This is a physical filter right (not a plug-in)? Are all shots (the two) using the same strength? The middle one seems to be a lot stronger (too strong in my opinion) than the last one, where the streak is still blueish-white, but has some opacity.

I dont think it lowers exposure at all. This is a physical blue streak filter from The Filter Gallery, 1mm variety. Same strength, it just becomes more pronounced as the light hits the sensor more directly.
