Hi. I recently paid £40 to go on a photography workshop for neutral density filters and I left feeling confused because of the amount of information the teacher went into. Your video was so to the point and the best explanation i've heard, thank you! Subscribing.
I have been a professional photographer for weddings and portraits for 40+ years shooting film (been out of it for awhile) and now trying to learn digital. Mind blowing…lol. Hoping you truly can “teach an old (65 yo) dog new tricks”…lol. Heading to the Smoky Mountains in a few weeks for beautiful autumn colors to do landscape, water and nature photography and hoping to learn to use my new D850 and lenses by then. Thank you so very much for your easy, in depth and very helpful teaching! Thanks also for no irritating humor or opening music sequence! Keep up the awesome help! We truly appreciate it and you! (Keep your fingers crossed I can do something good…lol)
I went through so many videos to understand the use of ND filters but the way you explained this, I don't need any further explanation. Just need to practice now.. Thanks a lot
Been watching long exposure videos to fully understand the use and how to use the nd1000 and almost all of them is showing u step by step. Now all i need to do is more practice after I've watch this vid.
Cool. So now it's time to get out there and do it. I love shooting with a 10 stop ND...you can get some crazy looking images with lots of drama when you get the hang of it! Thanks for watching 😁👍
Thanks so much! I had fun making this one...and I love the 10 stop ND. I've just been sent a new one so looking forward to testing it out really soon!! Thanks for watching. 😁👍
Man, thank you so much! I've already put to the cart ND filter for 49 mm, and then I see your video, and you say that is possible to buy large one and use it for all lenses you have. My biggest is 58 mm. Thank you so much! Now I will use it for both :)))
Great tutorial. So much useful info that you may sometimes need to pause it n reflect on what's just been said. It may also be a good idea to watch it multiple times. Thanx, Mike.
Thanks Theroro! I'm glad it is helping. That is the beauty of RUclips...you can also slow down the playback speed, but then I'd just sound drunk! 😆 Thanks for watching. 😁👍
Thanks so much Jezza!! I really do enjoy making these tutorials...and I learn the subject so much more in depth when I make them as well so it’s a win win!! Plenty more to come so make sure you keep checking back! 😁👍
wow bloody good tutorial, ive just bought a circular nd filter ,itll do for now . I thought your explanation very good ie vr of f and manual setting ,set up photo then add filter , I would never have done this , but I would have experimented with all settings , once again fantastic delivery of what to do thanks
Thanks so much! There’s nothing worse than someone going on about loads of other stuff instead of what the title states...I try to get straight into the subject, teach everything you need to know...nothing more, nothing less. 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated! 👍
Great video Mike ! For my part I use the app photopills => exposure to find the right time of exposure with the ND filter, it works pretty well and it's very easy to use :-)
Thanks Jack! PhotoPills is a great app isn’t it. I completely forget it had the conversion chart built in. Another one that is pretty good, that my friend recommended recently, is the Lee filter app. It’s just for working out the drop in exposure...non of the other great features that PhotoPills have. 👍
@@mikesphotography lucky you mentioned the step up ring. I never thought about it earlier. I was gonna buy 67mm ND filter but i also have other lenses. So i will buy the 77mm ND filter then and use it in my 55mm, 62mm, 67mm and 77mm lens as well. Thanks for this brilliant info Mike!
Thanks so much Ale! I hope you find some good ones in your search! Just make sure to invest a decent amount of money in them and read reviews before taking the plunge! 😁👍
@@mikesphotography I used it that very evening for sunset over a lake. Fantastic results of smooth water and beautiful colour! 60-90 second exposures do magical things to water!
No worries, I hope it helps! With a variable ND just be careful how far you push it. When you go too far, you get the dreaded “X” pattern which is almost impossible to correct.
I am watching now your video on variable ND filter... When I bought this at my local camera shop, they warned me of these effects. I was thinking it would be best for experimenting before paying better ones.
That’s good to know. I always hesitate in showing that video to people who’ve already purchased one. 😆 as I said in it though, a variable Nd is great up to about 5-6stops though, so great for shooting extended exposures in the golden hour. 👍
Another awesome video. I just bought a Sony a7iii and I'm learning a ton from you. Would love to see a video detailing speed light flash use both on and off camera and master/slave usage as well as some flash recommendations. If you include Amazon affiliate links in the description, I'll make sure to click on those when I purchase.
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you’re learning from my videos, it keeps me motivated when I hear they are helping! That is a video I have planned, so keep an eye out as it’ll be coming soon. I’ll be sure to add some links...and thanks so much for the support! If you have any other ideas for videos, I’m always up for suggestions! 👍
Thanks very much Gary! I actually have a video coming out later today where I use a 10 stop ND at the beach!! Thanks for watching and welcome to the community 😁👍
ive been looking for tutorials like this for some time now to no avail until it pops up in my recent list, and I am sooooo glad and happy you have no idea hehehe awesome mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! new subscriber here.
That's awesome John!! I'm so glad you like my tutorials!! 😁 If you want a list of all of my tutorials with links (apparat from the very latest ones I need to add), head over to my website where I've put them in alphabetical order and genres to make them easier to find: www.boxheadmike.com/youtubelinks/ Thanks for watching, for commenting and for subscribing! Good to have you around!! 😁👍
Great video and instruction, Mike. I am starting to think that you are monitoring my Amazon account. I just purchased a 10 stop filter last night. Looking forward to trying it out. Cheers.
Haha!! And I was trying to be inconspicuous!! 😆 ... that is excellent timing! It’s a solid filter to have and it opens up so many options. Since buying mine I always end up hunting down waterfalls to shoot!
your explanation is very clear, even though my english is sucks, but i was helped by the explanation that you put on the screen. Thanks brother, keep it up, i love this channel
Great lesson!! Thanks alot Mike.. In addition, you can use an app on your phone (lee stopper or ND filter expert ) to get the exposure time rather than carrying a paper around.. but your mileage may vary...
Thanks very much Josh! Yes, the Lee ND app is great isn't it! I use that all the time...I did however, forget to mention it in this video...🤦🏻♂️ Thanks for watching. 😁👍
i’m a videographer hobbiest and i accidentally bought an ND1000 filter thinking it would be dark enough for outside videos... turns out it is too dark! guess it’s time to start experimenting in more photography!
Hey Sean, Yeah, a 10 stop will be too dark for videography. A variable ND is much better when filming as you can adjust it to the exact level of ND you need. Thanks for watching. 👍
Thanks for the video! Just wanted to add one thing: If you have an optical viewfinder (SLR), you also will need to cover the viewfinder, to avoid having light getting into the camera through it. Many SLRs have a lever to close the viewfinder, or maybe have a small plastic piece (stored in the camera strap) that slides onto it. Another option is to stick a piece of black gaffer's tape on the finder while you are taking the picture.
That’s a good point Hans! I know quite a few Canon users didn’t know that the plastic square on the shoulder strap was for this very purpose. It’s definitely something that DSLR users will have to do. Thanks so much for your input, much appreciated! 😁👍
Yutai, Hans asked the question about DSLRs and they do need the viewfinders covered, but you're right, any mirrorless camera doesn't need the viewfinder covered. Thanks for watching.
@@mikesphotography quick question. is it better to use 77mm ND on 67mm lens with with step up ring, or use 67mm ND filter on 77mm lens with step down ring? . thank you

Hi Tim, Thanks dude!! You can do it, you’ve just got to shoot through sunset and into the night. I made a video on it a while back, check it out when you get a chance: ruclips.net/video/MisQRmQH2uk/видео.html Thanks
Very Well Explained Mike ! Your voice and accent is super clear. Thanks for the tutorial. I have ordered one HAIDA Nano PRO 10 Stop ND Filter, Manfrotto MT 190 XPRO 3 Tripod and a PIXEL Pro TW 283 Remote Shutter Wireless / Wired. I also downoladed two android apps for the shutter speed calculation. Will do the experiments with the help of your TIPS.
