I agree with what you say but, I also feel if the photographer wants that less detailed shot, it is their choice. It comes up from time to time on a forum I frequent. Smome like it completely frozen in time the way you actually see it & some like the smooth , not over done look. Anyway, thanks for sharing this. It gives food for thought.
Can you say more about the ND Big Stopper or Little Stopper ( 6-10 stops of darkness). So in your video you spoke only about changing the shutter speed, going shorter to get a little more texture.. I liked the discussion on this, food for thought... But, could you use the different stops on the ND filter to do the same thing? I have a 10 stop ND but haven't played with it that much? Would welcome some comments or a video on how to really use the ND with the different stops.
mbrendaop the ND filter is just a means to an end. You control the texture of the water solely through your shutter speed. But if it’s a bright day, you will soon run out of the exposure and even your smallest aperture (f/22 probably) will not allow long shutter times, like 2 seconds or so. Then you need a ND filter. I don’t feel how many stops of ND is that critical, unless you’re trying to get a very specific aperture. I’d recommend a variable ND filter in that case, you don’t need to have several ND filters with you.
"Explore Create Inspire..." love the slogan 👍👍😎😎
Thanks Bo!
Good advise Tim. Makes sense!
