    ND is for elongating your shutter speed.
    This is absolutely gold. That cleared up what the last...10? videos couldnt explain.

  • @jonmetzger699
    @jonmetzger699 Месяц назад +1

    If you have the UV filter on do you use the other filters in combo or do you remove the UV filter?

    • @Nateinthewild
      @Nateinthewild  Месяц назад

      This is an excellent question! You can generally leave it on, but on wider lenses (like 16mm for example) you may start to get vignette around the edges of the frame where the filters are actually obstructing the lens a bit. If that's the case you'll want to take the UV filter off and just use the CPL/ND/etc.

    @MsBlobz315 4 года назад +8

    Great video!
    I just want to say regarding not being able to do somethings without a filters. I've been able to come up with my own flow to blend multiple exposures using photoshop to emulate an ND filter. I primarily use this if I want a really long exposure and my 10-stop ND filter isn't enough. I import all the exposures into Lightroom, do a little white balance/exposure matching. Then important into Photoshop as layers, auto align all layers and then mean blend. While it requires more work, I like the flexibility of this flow, since it allows you to mask out certain parts of the image that you may not want to be long exposure (trees in the wind)

    • @librasulus
      @librasulus 2 года назад +1

      Certainly, you can replicate an ND filter. I have done it using photo stacking, most photo editors have that option. However it does need some time and effort to take the right amount of photos (over 5) and process them, especially if they are not aligned 100%. Using an ND filter is much much simpler - if you can afford it.

I'm trying to get the best quality and convenience. Any tips ? Do cpl from hign end vnd work well ? With vnd's though I think you can combine less filters together that would would with fixed filters (for instance nd + cpl + mist)

    Great informative video .
    Please can I ask you some advice , I’ve recently bought a dji Mini 3 drone . It has a fixed Appature although you can adjust shutter speed and iso . Been it’s a mini drone the sensor is very small . I’ve been getting overexposed pictures at sunset even when I slow shutter speed right down , or I can’t see the land scape . The best I’ve managed is using its hdr 3 photo mode helps a bit .
    So I’ve been looking at what’s available and free well sell 2 6 packs , 1 pack has just ND I think 4 to 128 called all day pack , They also sell for a little more money a sunny day pack of 6ND filters with polariser incorporated in all the filters .
    I do prefer getting photos and videos on sunny days and with water in my pics , but I live in UK and we don’t get a whole lot of sun .
    My question is if I use a polorised ND filter on let’s say an overcast day , or with no water . Using the 2nd set of sunny day pack of lenses , Is there any adverse affect ? I don’t want to buy both sets of filters unless it’s neccery.
    Or do I need just ND filters if I want motion blur and my pics not overexposed ?
    I’m also getting in to photography since I started with my drone and when I get the camera I want I will go with the best filters you talked about .
    Thanks in advance and pls excuse my spelling !

    • @Nateinthewild
      @Nateinthewild  2 года назад

      Are you talking about the IR filters that are built directly onto sensors? Because the IR filters that go in front of the lens filter out all light except for IR, which is a very cool artistic effect, but very uncommon in photography and nearly unheard of in videography.

    if i hadn't watched this video i wouldn't have known that the CPL filter can be rotated or what it even was for.

    Lightroom has a "dehaze" option to get rid of haze in a photograph. 👌

      Yes of course, but that should be a backup option to a polarizer. The image quality will *always* be much better by removing the light reflected by the haze particles in camera rather than digitally "enhancing" the image to remove haze.

    For using a ND filter to create motion blur. Can't you just take a bunch of photos and overlay them to have the same effect?
