Greater control over exposure:
• Slower shutter speeds: ND filters reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor, allowing you to use slower shutter speeds. This is particularly useful for creating silky smooth water effects, blurring motion, or capturing light trails.
• Wider apertures: ND filters also enable you to use wider apertures, resulting in shallower depth of field for isolating your subject and creating a pleasing bokeh effect.
Enhanced dynamic range:
• Balanced exposures: In scenes with high contrast, such as landscapes with bright skies and dark foregrounds, ND filters help you balance the exposure for both areas, preventing blown-out highlights or underexposed shadows.
• Graduated ND filters: These filters have a gradual density transition, allowing you to darken specific areas like the sky while maintaining proper exposure in other parts of the frame.
Creative effects:
• Long exposures: ND filters are essential for creating long exposure effects like light trails, star trails, and motion blur, adding a sense of movement and drama to your images.
• Smooth water: As mentioned earlier, ND filters enable you to capture silky smooth water effects, transforming waterfalls, rivers, and seas into ethereal landscapes.
