LOL, that road doesn't have enough room for that many G's.

Actually, I don't even remember if I used the ND filter for these particular shots. In fact, I'm almost certain I didn't. The CPL gave me a much nicer/blue-r sky than the ND filter.

I think if we meet during the day, then we can stack the filters and it will still give us a blue sky...but I won't be able to shoot at 10mm as there is some vignetting then.

We can still plan to meet at sunrise, I want the wiiiiide shot. I tried my ND filter today shooting at my window in my bedroom, no vignetting at 11mm. I need to stack the CPL on top of it and see what focal length I need to go out to.

Any stills of this car, or did you just do rig shots?

I don't get vignetting with the ND filter alone. It's when I stack the CPL on there that I get the vignetting (and I stack the CPL on there to get the ultra blue skies).

Check the gallery on my website for the still shots. All those blue skies you see are courtesy of the CPL filter. With the CPL adjusted to remove the reflections from the windshield, the skies were blown (white) as if there was no filter on at all. The shots taken in the early morning left me with light blue skies. Those taken late morning gave me supppppppper blue skies.

EDIT: posted some statics in the first post.

Great series of shots on your site Cal, I like them all. Did you have to use layers in PS then to get the blue sky and the reduced reflection on the windshield in the same image?

Yes, I used layers...but not for that. I used layers to remove the blue reflections from the car. IMO, there was just too much blue on the car...so I desaturated the blue on bottom layer and kept the blue on the top layer. deleted the car area on the top layer to see through to the desaturated blue layer.
