You want to use a wide open aperture to get that beautiful bokeh effect? No problem. The quintessential use for an ND1000 filter (also called a 10-stop filter) is to get that silky-smooth effect on running water during the daytime, like you see in the header photo of this post.

How many stops is a 1000 ND filter?

10 stop
The ND1000 is a 10 stop filter meaning a long exposure which can result in some great artistic shots being produced. Being 10 stop allows us to reduce the shutter speed to the 1-20 second range depending on the size of the aperture we can want for that shot.

How many stops ND filter should I get?

What filter is best to use? For long exposure shots like below with clear water and blurred clouds you will want a 6 stop or 10 stop ND filter as this will give you an exposure time of at least 30 seconds and up to 4 minutes. The higher stop filters will enable you to get those long exposures.

Are ND filters good for sunsets?

1. Neutral Density (ND) Filter.

What does ND1000 mean?

When you first start to experiment with long exposure photography, the 10 stop (ND1000) is the perfect neutral density filter to begin with. A 10 stop ND filter allows only 1/1000th of the ambient light to reach the sensor and can be used during sunrise, sunset and the brighter parts of the day in between.

Do ND filters cause vignette?

It’s especially vulnerable at wide angles. This is not vignetting, it’s the result of 2 circular polarizers (this is how variable ND are made). The polarizing effect of the filters create an X effect in the image, which is more apparent in daylight and wide angle scenes.

What ND filter should I buy first?

A ND 6 stop filter is widely used as a first filter, because it allows you to take some long exposure beyond 5-10 seconds also in the afternoon, while at sunset and shortly after it allows you to shoot for beyond 2 minutes with little effort. You can get cloud movement or very flat sea.

What does ND64 mean?

The ND64 is a dark neutral density filter with a filter factor of 64, meaning there is 6-stop light loss. This is a great filter for slowing down shutter speeds to capture motion.
