Kase Wolverine Magnetic Circular Filters Professional Kit Review

When heading out to take landscape photography images I always take some filters with me, I don’t always use them but they have a permanent spot in my camera bag. Some scenes may not require the use of a filter, but often a scene and the resulting image can be enhanced by the use of appropriate filters. Recently I’ve wanted to reduce the size and weight of the filter kit that I carry with me, I hoped to find some filters which were compact and light but offered high optical quality.

I decided to purchase the Kase Wolverine Magnetic Circular Filters Professional Kit. This small and lightweight kit comes with a carry pouch, polariser, ND filters (3, 6 and 10 stop), adapter ring and a lens cap. The beauty of this kit is that the filters are magnetic - once you attach the adapter ring to your lens the filters simply clip on and are held by magnetic force. This, and the fact they are stackable, makes them very easy to use and saves a bit of time over other filter designs.

Recently I headed out to the coast to try out these filters, what better way to test them than take a few pictures? You can see one of my first images taken with the Kase filters below. I am very impressed with their optical quality, ease of use, and the small compact size of the entire kit. The short version of this story is that they have earned a spot in my camera bag. If you want to see my full review and demonstration of the Kase Wolverine Magnetic Filters, and some more images taken with them, then you can watch my review video on my YouTube channel here.

Searching for Seascapes and a Sky of Fire

In recent weeks I have been at the coast hoping to capture some seascapes. In one of those trips I faced changeable conditions and ending up returning to the same location twice, you can watch that video here. In my second trip I headed out to another location in the hope of capturing some sunset images with wonderful colour in the sky.  I was fortunate enough to witness an amazing sunset with wonderful colour, that video is available here.

Taking Good Images in Dull Weather

 

It is still possible to take really nice images on a dull day. In overcast conditions I head to the woods and search for compositions which appeal to my eye. The sun appears once and only very briefly but I leave with some nice images which I am happy with. We can’t always be out at sunrise and sunset but you can still capture great images at other times of the day and in less than ideal weather conditions. Watch my journey here.
