I was moving around a lot that day, overcast, and shade, and had it up for shooting at 400mm. Left it up to be sure to stop action on a fast moving fire whip.

No filter.

thanks man!

Now that you mentioned it, I had no idea it was a fire whip. I thought he was lighting something on fire, not holding a fire whip in action.
