  • Hey! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it :) This is an amateur testing of the K&F Concept Variable ND Filter 2-400 HMC 82 mm on both a cloudy day and a sunny day. The goal of this test is to show what the filter looks like in use on a person during a video in two different weather conditions. Hope it helps!
    Ps. I am aware I spelled aperture wrong in a majority of the video. I didn't realize it until the video was already uploaded and I was editing the subtitle captions for the video 🤦🏻‍♀️ Sorry pls forgive me 🥺

    Sorry I spelled Aperture wrong throughout pretty much the entire video 😵‍💫 🤦‍♀ please forgive me photography community🥺😔

      Didn't even notice the misspelling if you had not pointed it out. Great test. Your "amateur" testing is far better than those loaded with technical verbiage that only a few people relate to. I prefer your more practical testing.

    I just ordered a K&F VND CPL filter to use for video on my Sony ZV-1. It doesn't have as many stops of VND, but it does allow adjustment of the filter's polarization. What you showed in this video looked fine. I hope I have good luck also.

I was trying to figure out what type of ND filter I should get and your setting at 1/50 has clarified my confusion. Thanks a lot

    • @mikmedia98
      @mikmedia98  9 місяців тому

      Thank you! I haven't taken many photos with it since I bought it with the intent of videos. I did use it while shooting snow in the Grand Tetons and the photos look fine. I didn't do any long exposures though cause that's just not really my preferred shooting style. I personally haven't had to use it in a portrait shoot because I typically shoot at a high shutter speed when doing portrait work and haven't been in a situation where I really needed it while taking portrait shots.
