      @@aowsYou're welcome! Question: I tried to create an image yesterday and get that creamy overcast sky, but I don't have an ND filters. So, that long exposure didn't work. Question is, what range of ND is necessary and would a variable ND be sufficient? Thanks!!

    • @aows
      @aows  8 месяцев назад +1

      @@charliejg it depends on how long you want your exposures to be. To give you an idea, a 6-stop ND filter will take a 1 second exposure to 1 minute. But getting a 1 second exposure can be very tricky, even using base ISO and a very small aperture, especially on brigth-ish days. Try to get to that 1 second exposure with your camera / lens, you might have to go to f/22 or beyond. That's why I have another 2 ND filters, a 10 and a 15 stop. The 10 will take a 1/15 exposure to that same 1 minute. And a 15 stop will take a 1/500 exposure to 1 minute. 1/500 is more realistic, even in bright days, and that's how I'm able to get 1, 2, 4, 8 or even longer long exposures during the day. Hope this helps.

      Glad you enjoyed the video, Richard! I love photography the most when it's challenging but not overwhelming, when the weather pushes you but still gives you a window of opportunity, when you are about to lose faith but somehow manage to make an image you could dream of hours earlier. It's not easy, but it's totally worth it. Scotland did push me quite a bit, and I loved every minute of it. Thank you so much for coming along, there are still a few more videos from this beautiful country.

    Hi Adrian, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the beautiful Isle of Skye, what a great place you visited. I liked those Pebble rocks at the beach of elgol, and those small puddles and rock on the left with that long exposure image.I also liked the lighthouse especially in Black and White. It was nice to hear those Bagpipes and i learned something new about the Bagpipes, and the association with Spain. Those Damn Midges they are everywhere you can't escape them, at least they didn't stop you from taking great images. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. 😃

      I love using the screen of my camera for that. The monitor I showed in the video is just to record the screen to share in these videos, the resolution is pretty terrible. But the built-in screen in the camera is something I use all the time for lower shots, and when on the tripod.
