Neutral density filter
Usually describes a gray camera filter which has an equal opacity to all the colours of the spectrum and so does not affect the colours in the final image.

Techniques Glossary ND (Neutral density) filter.
A colourless grey filter that's used to evenly reduce the light reaching the film or CCD without affecting the colour.
Neutral Density filters come in two basic varieties: solid and graduated. Both function by simply cutting down the light that is transmitted to the film, just like someone turned off the lights.
Neutral density graduated filters (ND Grads) can make a really dramatic difference to your landscape photography. Images captured on film or digitally cannot record the same range of brightness as the human eye, leading to disappointing results.
A neutral density (ND) filter is a dark filter designed to reduce the amount of light getting into the lens in a given time.
Graduated neutral density filters do not work well when the division between the light and dark areas is not fairly straight. A scene of the ocean and sky would work well with a graduated neutral density filter due to the straight line of the horizon.

Neutral Density Graduated
Neutral Density Graduated (NDG) or a "grad" is an optical filter that allows for variable or graduated light transmission.
Neutral Density
Neutral Density (ND) filters are sunglasses for your camera. They reduce the amount of light coming in without changing the color.
Neutral Density Graduated Filters
Quite often the correct exposure for a background in a scene is not the best one for the foreground or viceversa.
Neutral Density Filter - This light is bright enough to enable the user to employ a shutter speed that would otherwise be to slow.
Ni-Cad - A rechargeable battery also known as Nickel Cadmium.
Neutral Density Camera Filters (ND Filters)
ND filters, or Neutral Density Filters reduce the amount of light that gets in the lens in a balanced way (as opposed to a polarizing filter, for example).
NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTER - Filter for use in front of the lens that absorbs all visible wavelengths to a more or less equal extent. ND filters can be used with both monochrome and color films, since they have no effect on color balance.
Neutral Density Filters
If you are shooting in bright light and want to restrict the depth of field, use a neutral density filter in front of the lens to reduce the light entering the lens.
Neutral density filter
A neutral grey camera filter which is used to reduce the amount of light entering the camera when a slow shutter speed or wide aperture is needed.
(see Aperture & Shutter speed) ...
Neutral Density. Usually applies on filter, filtration that can effectively reduce the amount of light passes to the film. In some filters, half ND filters can be very effective to lower the contrast, esp the sky to achieve more balance effect.
Neutral Density filters
Neutral density (ND) filters are dark filters that reduce the brightness of a scene. You may need them if you like to play with long exposures for artistic effect.
Neutral Density, ND (Gel)
Those .3, .6, and .9 ND gels reduce light Intensity by 1, 2, or 3 stops respectively, without a change in color or quality of the light.
Neutral density filter
Describes a gray camera filter which has a equal opacity to all colours of the spectrum and so does not affect the colours in the final image.
4 - Neutral Density Filters
Neutral density filters simply absorb light of all wavelengths. A 0.6D filter absorbs 2 stops of light and a 0.9D filter absorbs three stops of light.
ND (neutral density) filter
A filter which is placed in front of the lens or the lightsource to absorb light and reduce shutter speeds or allow the use of wider apertures.

Neutral density filters will stop a specified amount of light entering the camera. I tend to use these for shooting waterfalls on a sunny day.
Neutral density (ND) filters are simply filters which block a certain percentage of light from passing through. In other words, they're darkening filters.
Neutral Density Filter - A device that sifts out intense sources of light without otherwise affecting a shot.
NiMH Battery - Nickel metal hydrid, a type of rechargeable battery that is commonly used in camera accessories.

Neutral Density Filter- This will cut down on the amount of light passing through your lens. Think of it as sunglasses minus the color shift for your camera's eyes.
The Neutral Density Filter is practically a must for even the most amateur of photographers. These filters are used to reduce glare from reflections on water, glass and most everything in which light bounces off the object, producing a glare.

We used a neutral density graduated filter (ND Grad) to capture more detail in the sky. Many landscape photographers use these filters to balance the bright skies of a scene with the foreground, which is often darker.

For high contrast scenes having a 2-stop and 3-stop ND filter allows me to fit the dynamic range of the scene into a single image.
I occasionally use split neutral density filters by Cokin. These filters are square plastic with one half clear and the other half 1 or 2 stop neutral density. The area where the clear meets the filter area is blended.
Filters:Two words, Neutral Density. It surpasses the Polarizer as the most useful filter landscape photographers can keep in their bag. These great little tools come in many shapes, strengths, and sizes.
Where to Place The Graduated Filter: A graduated neutral density filter adds density to a bright sky or foreground. A graduated color filter adds both color and density.
The triangle should be a "quadrangle' with neutral density (gray) filters (sunglasses with varying strength) as the 4th dimension. I wouldn't be surprised if sometime in the near future a camera maker comes up with an "Auto Filter" feature.
- Transition between stronger and weaker settings of a correction-enhance contrast and color balance selectively, reduce falloff, neutral density filtration, color filtration, add or remove vignetting, etc.
This is accomplished with a neutral density piece of glass on the top (to hold back the sunlight and make it more closely approximate the light on the underwater scene) and a diopter (usually in the range of a +3 or +4) to balance the focus.
The third and last very useful filter is the Neutral Density filter (ND filter). The ND filter is most commonly used by landscape photographers. This is a neutral grey filter which reduces the amount of light that reaches the camera lens.
A neutral density (ND) filter cuts the amount of light entering the lens, thus allowing for longer exposures. But a polarizing filter also blocks some of the light entering the lens - by almost 2 stops.
I always have a graduated neutral density and a polarizing filter. As a photojournalist, I wouldn't necessarily carry those. I also always have duct tape with me. I love my bag, too.
Neutral Density Filter A neutral density or ND filter. It reduces the amount of transmitted light without affecting color balance; especially useful when you want to control aperture or shutter speed in brightly lit situations.
To control exposure, use a neutral density filter, flash exposure compensation or flash exposure lock.
If you don't get the colors you want, try different white balance settings.
If you did all of this and it was still too bright, a neutral density filter might be your only option.
Attach a neutral density filter to your camera or use a polarizing filter if you have one to reduce the amount of light that enters the lens, to allow you to increase the exposure time as much as you need.
Grey Grad, or Graduated Neutral Density filter
This is a very useful filter, but the draw back is that it takes some effort to use in the field; it's fiddly and easy to muck up. Here's the theory...
A polariser can also be used as a makeshift overall neutral density filter, as they also reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor.

Integration in photographic analysis is defined as the method of averaging all density ( illumination ) values either in R, G, and B, or as neutral density and saving this aggregate value to determine exposure in the camera or the darkroom.
No true aperture control (iris only. The 2nd aperture setting appears to be implemented with neutral density filter).
