Description
Straight Neutral Density Filter Set.
Neutral density filters – ND Straights – are colourless filters that remove light evenly across all spectrums.
Neutral density filters are used to lengthen exposure time, or allow the shooter to use a larger aperture.
Common uses are:
-
Creating shallow depth of field during daytime
-
Making water appear misty and ethereal
-
Removing people from busy areas
-
Transforming clouds and skies
-
Adjust exposure on cinema cameras because shutter duration is fixed
ND filters are available between 1-10 stops of density, plus 13 & 16 stops for long exposure. The density of the ND is written either in the number of stops, or using the traditional density scale.
-
0.3 = 1 stop
-
0.6 = 2 stops
-
0.9 = 3 stops
-
1.2 = 4 stops
Be careful to note the difference. For example, a 6 stop filter could be labeled “1.8”, but a two stop filter could be labeled “0.6.”
So 3-4 stop ND filters – ie 0.9 and 1.2 allow street photographers to shoot their fast lenses “wide-open” even during the middle of the day.
