ND Filters are all about holding back light to give you a slow shutter speed. And my favorite ND filter is the Lee Big Stopper – called Big Stopper because i…

I am heading to Alaska for a BIG photo vacation and I am going to get an ND
filter to try some shots, thanks for the inspiration!
I learnt more in this video than my 10 years if shooting !
can nd filter be used to shoot landscape n make the sky darker in a bright
sunny day?or it will darken everything.do i need to buy gradual nd filter
just for landscape?
Cheapest but reliable place to get Lee Filters?
This is how architectural photographers get those shots of buildings in the
city at midday without any people in them. Pedestrians don’t usually stand
still for a minute or more, so they never register in the exposure.
Probably the best video I have seen on ND filters. I think one of the
things I have been missing is using auto focus first and than setting it to
manual for the shot.
G,day Mike I have been just on the edge of wanting to try some long
exposure togophy but what has put me off has been all the tuts showing you
how to take photos of waterfalls and the ocean I don’t live near falls or
ocean and was wondering if you could do this using other subjects as long
as there was movement now I know it can be just clouds or grass or flags
flapping in the wind I am happy to now try this myself thank you for
showing us that I really am getting excited of getting my ND filter and
getting started thank you again
Can you do a short video on why you need to place blue tak on the
viewfinder.
Thanks
Andy
I noticed on a couple of occasions that you didn’t quite push the filter
all the way into position. This might lead to the light leaking in to your
shot.
Excellent video all the same. I liked the first shot and the last one with
the flag.
With fear of you thinking Im becoming a stalker ….. where is that lovely
beach with all the beach huts please ? I have a few days off work and I
think I will go there for a few days. Many thanks (again)
Not a word about rebalancing your white. Nor did the images suggest it to
be needed (comparison betw. with – without shots) Is your filter truly
Neutral D, or what? In similar vids this seems to be an issue:” Hey why
does the filter make the sky look like puke ?” Oh that´s because you need
to rebalance your white, the answer was, and it was an expensive filter
they were using. In short: Is there a truly NEUTRAL ND filter for colo(u)r
photography ?
Great video. Good explainations and results. Can I please ask what video
camera was used for this clip and render settings used for youtube? I can’t
believe how nice and clear this video is even in the auto setting!
What ND filter would you recommend for shooting in bright sunlight? Which
brand and how many stops? Thanks, and lovely video! 😀
Im having trouble deciding on a camera to buy as a beginner. I really like
the fujifilm x100, but i keep hearing a dslr would be better for a beginner
like me. Opinions?
Hi Mike
Thanks for the Vid. As a beginner, I am finding your videos of the greatest
worth.
Very informative and simple to understand, Two thumbs up mate. Cheers
Great video, Mike! Learned quite a lot from this and excited to view all of
your videos 🙂
Quick question, please, why did you have to lock up the mirror? Thank you.
What did you have with your right hand, mate? :S. Good video by the way !!
I have a D3100 and when I lock up the mirror it will only close when I
switch off the camera? Is that me making a mistake, as I can only find a 30
second maximum shutter speed.
I had the feeling that getting a D7100 + 50 mm f1.8G + Manfrotto tripod
would cover all my requirements. But it seems, the more you invest, the
more are the possibilities. CPL, ND, Flash Diffuser. Turning out to be an
expensive hobby :D
Thank You so much for answering Sir. I truly appreciate your time.
Are you sure you lost your eyecup cover and it’s not attached to the side
strap? I thought I had lost mine too until I was reading the manual and
felt silly when I realized it comes attached to the side strap and it’s
always been there :)
Thank u sir .. It was helpfull..
Thank you so much sir, it helped a lot.
still learning here…D3200…Lots to learn!
