I got myself some ND filters and now I can finally expose as long as I want no matter the light :3
@ConnyDuck That’s beautiful! 😍
@ConnyDuck soooo cool!!!
¿where is that place?

@ConnyDuck woooow
@ConnyDuck AMAZING!!!
@ConnyDuck oooh that is cool! I've tried a few shots with an ND1000, but it totally seems to skew the white balance to the blue side
@ConnyDuck that's amazing! Can you recommend a filter/brand? I would like to experiment with this like next month in norway
@lbehm I have some by Urth, and I only used them once and I have no experience but so far they seem to do their job really well :D
@ConnyDuck as long as you dont expose yourself
@ConnyDuck Love this shot. I really need to learn how to do these types of shots.
@ConnyDuck Eeyupp...
@ConnyDuck I have a potentially silly question for this use case, if you're inclined to indulge me:
I don't shoot with a DSLR, but with a mirrorless Panasonic Lumix G95. Besides the mechanical shutter, it also has an electronic one with a shutter speed of up to 1/16000 s. Could you explain the advantage of using an ND filter with a slower shutter speed vs. shooting with a faster shutter speed without a filter, for a given (wide) aperture?
@xahteiwi I'm not an expert but I think there is no advantage. My M50 only goes to 1/4000 and at F1.2 that was way too bright so the filter helped.
@ConnyDuck Thanks! I am still inclined to get an ND filter just to try out a side-by-side comparison. For science! 😀
@ConnyDuck By the way: thanks for Tusky, I use it every day!
ND filters are also super useful to photograph with a wide open aperture in bright light
