Product Overview

The Nisi 150x170mm Nano IR Soft Graduated Neutral Density Filter ND16 4 Stop is specially designed for landscape photographers. This filter is made from high quality optical glass (not rasin) with nano coating to prevent losing any single bit of detail. The filter is designed with dark area on the top and gradually to clear at the bottom preventing over exposure of skies. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and the 1.2 density provides a 4 stop reduction in light from entering the lens. This filter measures 3.9 x 5.9″ / 100 x 150mm and is compatible with the Nisi 100mm filter holder or other 100mm Standard Filter Holder (Lee, Cokin or Formatt Hitech). The filter can be repositioned in the holder allowing recompose the photo for the best result.

By using neutral density filter the camera is vulnerable to infrared light which will cast the unwanted red color to the photos when shotting at small aperture. Nisi added the infrared protection coating layer to this filter which help to eliminate the infrared light through the lens to bring back the nature color.

FAQs

How does the NiSi ND16 filter improve my landscape photography?

The NiSi ND16 filter is specifically designed to help landscape photographers manage exposure levels, particularly in high-contrast scenes. By reducing light entering the lens by four stops, this filter allows you to capture more detail in both the highlights and shadows. This is especially useful in situations where the sky is significantly brighter than the foreground, as it helps to balance the exposure and achieve a more natural look. The soft graduation of the filter means that you can seamlessly blend the darker top portion with the clearer bottom, preventing harsh lines in your images.

What is the significance of the infrared protection coating on this filter?

The infrared protection coating on the NiSi ND16 filter is crucial for maintaining accurate colour reproduction in your images. When using neutral density filters, especially at smaller apertures, your camera can become susceptible to infrared light, which may introduce unwanted red hues into your photos. This coating helps to eliminate the impact of infrared light, ensuring that the colours in your landscape images remain true to life, without any unwanted colour casts.

Can I use this filter with other brands of filter holders?

Yes, the NiSi 150x170mm ND16 filter is compatible with standard 150mm filter holders, including those from other brands like Lee, Cokin, and Formatt Hitech. This versatility allows you to integrate the filter into your existing setup without needing to invest in new equipment, making it a cost-effective choice for photographers who may own a variety of filter holders.

What type of photography is this filter best suited for?

The NiSi ND16 filter is ideal for landscape photography, particularly when shooting in conditions with high dynamic range. It is especially beneficial for capturing scenes with bright skies and darker foregrounds, such as sunsets, sunrises, or dramatic cloudscapes. Additionally, it can be useful for long exposure photography, allowing you to create smooth, flowing water effects or softening movement in clouds, all while maintaining balanced exposure across your image.

How do I properly position the filter in the holder for optimal results?

To achieve the best results with the NiSi ND16 filter, insert it into your filter holder and position it so that the darker portion aligns with the horizon or the area of the scene you wish to darken. The ability to reposition the filter within the holder allows you to recompose your shot easily without removing the filter. Take some test shots to ensure the graduation aligns perfectly with the elements in your composition, and adjust as needed to avoid any abrupt transitions in exposure.
