Why Filter ? simple sample for GND, RGND and ND filters

after long rest for Landscape photography, went for another quick long exposure, sunset and Milky Way shooting at Batu Pahat …  and here few simple sample

– all picture use AV mode meter at same position

– just contrast , saturation add to each picture

1.without any filter

– obviously the top-right over expose without any filter use

without any filter

 

2. use most standard GND filter than we recommended for here GND .9s

– sky exposure seem better after the GND  even with little highlight

with GND .9s only

 

3. use RGND 2 stops

– the exposure seem more balance without highlight due to light concentrate on center of the frame

with RGND 2 stops

 

4. with RGND and 10 stops ND filters

– ND 10 stops to make the shutter speed much slower create different slow shutter effect (silky effect for this) . the calm and peace feel make the picture look different from the standard capture

with RGND 2 stops and ND 10 stops

 

Overall the GND/RGND is to balance the sky exposure with the foreground and ND can create different effect for composition.

Kuala Penyu, Sabah | liewwk

a beautiful place that I want to make a visit for long, and manage to make a quick trip there May 2013…

a quiet village with beautiful beach … low light (mean good for astronomy) …. and few spots good for sunset, sunrise etc …

few place to stay and we stay at Tempurung Seaside Lodge which serve good food, good service and good relax place if bring friend, family 😀 … but for photography require transport to drive little way out .. range 5-15km…
