Two links the same! Oops (it was late lol) This is the missing link so to speak lol it is a timed street scene, that went wrong as someone walked into the frame as I was shooting, which happened to make it kind of cool. I havent got a rainbow filter, but I am considering getting one. TwoPynts link looks cool though. I havent used the sunset filter for years I have probably got one or two somewhere that were shot on film (back in the 80's) lol I said it was years. The two shots with and without a star were shot with the idea of contrasting concepts, one subtle and one in your face, they both IMO have their merit but think the star one is a little OTT. Oddly enough I hadnt used the star filter in years either and found it whilst rummaging in my cam bag for the remote cable, and thought yay that might be cool! I dont think the length of exposure affects the length of the star (Speculation as I dont really know) I have not used a star 16, but would think that the star effect would be the same just with more points (more speculation) I dont think aperture effects the star length either, the street scene was f8 I think and the 2005 one was f22 I have only ever used this filter on a 50mm prime, as it is a Cokin A series and too small for my other lenses, other lenses may behave differently. I dont know if all star filters are the same, maybe there are variants with longer and shorter stars, but personally I dont think so. Cokin do 2,4,8, and 16 point as far as I can tell form their booklet, there is probably other brands though. This is the only other star shot I have I think, was done for one of the challenges a whole back. http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=735659&Start=199&Artist=LostPatrol&ByArtist=Yes I think I have answered/failed to answer all your questions lol, feel free to ask any more you have. Im sure you will have fun when you get these toys, look forward to seeing the results. Simon
