... windy Shake (color) ... — … windy Shake (color) … – Lee FIlter Big Stopper – Lee Filter ND .9

: … ready to go … with Big Stopper

... face EAST ... — … face EAST … with Lee Filter Big Stopper

Some time we just need something slow … but smaller aperture and lower ISO .. but the speed still not low as what we want … then we need to make use of ND filter to slow down filter to create effect what we wish to have …

e.g. of use Big Stopper to make shutter >30s or even >60s … to create the silky and clouds movement or we call slow shutter

i love this filter even it create blue cast which can easily correct … I share some pictures before HERE

and this filters can be pre-order and I have constantly stock arrive … feel free to contact me …

my Lee Filter CPL broken .. but I think I really need it back ASAP … but no stock for the moment …. hmmmmm .. but the broken one still can use on longer focal length

it is never right and wrong .. but what effect we want it to be … i need it for reduce reflection and some time contrast …

why GND and RGND ?

did a quick compare into single image .. for why we use GND and RGND

left … – no filter while foreground correct expose but the sky will look over

Center – with GND 1.2, the sky will be balance as reduce light go through on the top part but the horizontal level still look over due to the light source from there

right – the filter transit from center to top (darker at center) so managed to block more light at the horizontal level and maintain the details

there is no right and wrong in photography .. but using different filters will give you how your picture look like …..

and if you look for Lee Filter .. Singh-Ray … i may have some stock available

I didn;t shoot a lot except last day while I saw my lovely wave … and thinking of how close every can go toward the wave splash … and am happy almost everyone got “wet”

and while I was there… ask again myself and other .. how close will you go and because of beautiful pictures will you go close to rish your gear for wet and malfunction ?

thanks Erica for few capture how I capture the wave

Long Exposures Gear – Big stop ND

Even on day light ? At bright condition how we can get silky feel on sea/lake/river etc ….so normally we will use a big stop of ND and in the market have few well known

1. B+W/Schneider 10 stops filter (nd1000x) (10 stops)

2. Lee Filter Big Stopper (10 stops)

3. Hoya400 (9 stops)

At daylight (Malaysia), even with smallest aperture & lowest ISO … we still will get something 1/400-1/100… e.g. even with 1/100 we will never get the silky effect

and this was shoot early morning where already bright enough to fail you to make silky wave…by using the “Lee filter – Big Stopper” I shoot with exif below

# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 116/1 second ===> 116 second
# Lens F-Number / F-Stop = 11/1 ===> ƒ/11
# ISO Speed Ratings = 200
# Original Date/Time = 2010:12:18 07:26:43

or with sun still on the horizon, I still able to make the shutter to 20s to create the silky as exif below sharing

5dm2 + 1635@18mm + Lee Big Stopper + Lee .9s GND
# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 20/1 second ===> 20 second
# Lens F-Number / F-Stop = 9/1 ===> ƒ/9
# ISO Speed Ratings = 100
