• Neutral Density Filters - What Are They? Do I Need One?

  Send us a textNeutral density filters attach to camera lenses and reduce the amount of light getting through to your camera sensor without affecting the colours (hopefully). Neutral density filters allow you to take long exposures in daylight, allowing you to flatten water and make clouds super cool, streaky, blurry, amongst other things. Neutral density filters allow you to use wide apertures in bright conditions and can also prevent you from getting overexposed photos in bright conditions.I have an amazing 10-stop ND Filter that gets me super long shutter speeds in broad daylight.So let me tell you all you need to know about Neutral Density filters – how utterly splendid.All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in (much) less than 27 (ish) minutes!What is not to love?
