-Neutral Density Filters 4. Filters of the same color are added and subtracted normally: 30M + 20M= 50M 10B - 05B = 05B 5.

Graduated neutral density filters do not work well when the division between the light and dark areas are not fairly straight.

Decoding Neutral Density Filter Designations
Last fall I posted a three-part article on essential filters.

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.

Neutral density filter (ND):
Filter that reduces the amount of light passing through, but not altering the values of any colors.

Neutral density filters are useful for taking photos in bright light using fast film, or for taking longer exposure photos than would be possible otherwise for the film speed in use. A 0.3x filter cuts back one stop of light, a 0.

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
Neutral density (ND) filters uniformly reduce the amount of light reaching the camera's sensor.

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 filter. Blocks all frequencies of light evenly, making scene darker overall. Available in many different values, distinguished by optical density or by filter factor.

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

Short for neutral density filter; used to reduce the amount of light passing through a lens without altering the image's color or tonal rendition.

Use a graduated neutral density filter. A graduated neutral density filter is a filter that covers the front of your camera's lens. It will be clear on the bottom and get increasingly darker, moving upwards.

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.

It also includes a pair of neutral density filters for the small reflector to adjust the light output. The Nikon SB-16 also has a small secondary reflector, but there are no filters included to cut its light output.

This is an exceptionally full-featured digital camera, with all the bells and whistles apart from a flash hot shoe, a tilt/swivel LCD, and perhaps an internal neutral density filter.

A physical graduated neutral density filter, for instance, has one clear edge and then gradually increases in density towards the other edge.

1 with an ND4 (2-stop) neutral density filter in front of the sensor. As a result, diffraction won't be any worse than it would be at f/4.1.

If you did all of this and it was still too bright, a neutral density filter might be your only option.

The Exposure Concerns section is actually the most confusing, with the author jumping from neutral density filters to RAW format.

A polariser can also be used as a makeshift overall neutral density filter, as they also reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor.

sensor. There are basically two ways your camera can ensure that: 1) open or close the aperture (by making the hole of the iris larger or smaller; or, as is becoming more and more common in point-and-shoot digicams, by using a neutral density filter ...

Neutral density filters cut the light entering the camera so you can use slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright light. This helps you get softer backgrounds in portraits and better capture flowing water.
