Some time we just need something slow … but smaller aperture and lower ISO .. but the speed still not low as what we want … then we need to make use of ND filter to slow down filter to create effect what we wish to have …

 

e.g.  of use Big Stopper to make shutter >30s or even >60s … to create the silky and clouds movement or we call slow shutter

 

i love this filter even it create blue cast which can easily correct  … I share some pictures before HERE

Long Exposures Gear – Big stop ND

Even on day light ? At bright condition how we can get silky feel on sea/lake/river etc ….so normally we will use a big stop of ND and in the market have few well known

1.  B+W/Schneider 10 stops filter (nd1000x) (10 stops)

2. Lee Filter Big Stopper (10 stops)

3. Hoya400 (9 stops)

At daylight (Malaysia), even with smallest aperture & lowest ISO … we still will get something 1/400-1/100… e.g. even with 1/100 we will never get the silky effect

slow shutter at Dungun

and this was shoot early morning where already bright enough to fail you to make silky wave…by using the “Lee filter – Big Stopper” I shoot with exif below

# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 116/1 second ===> 116 second
# Lens F-Number / F-Stop = 11/1 ===> ƒ/11
# ISO Speed Ratings = 200
# Original Date/Time = 2010:12:18 07:26:43

 

or with sun still on the horizon, I still able to make the shutter to 20s to create the silky as exif below sharing

... difficult to reach ...

5dm2 + 1635@18mm + Lee Big Stopper + Lee .9s GND
# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 20/1 second ===> 20 second
# Lens F-Number / F-Stop = 9/1 ===> ƒ/9
# ISO Speed Ratings = 100
