Product Overview

The NiSi Filters 100mm ND Long Exposure Kit is a new kit from NiSi Filters featuring three 100x100mm IR Neutral Density Filters, ND8 3 Stop and ND64 6 Stop and ND1000 10 Stop. Neutral density (ND) filters uniformly reduce the amount of light entering the lens. The ND Filter can enable greater motion blurring and image detail by allowing a large aperture and a slow shutter speed. ND filters are also helpful when the contrast between the highlights and shadows is too high to get a quality exposure. The ND8 3 Stop is commonly used for waterfalls and capturing water flow at shutter speeds from 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds. The ND64 6 stops ND filter is generally used during golden hour to create exposures of 1-2 minutes for smooth water or clouds or is also great for capturing dynamic water while retaining some texture before the golden hour. The ND1000 10 Stop is used during the day outside of golden hour as the bright ambient light requires much more ‘light blocking’. These can prolong exposures for up to 5 minutes during golden hour with the appropriate settings.

FAQs

What are the benefits of using ND filters for long exposure photography?

ND filters allow for greater creative control when capturing long exposure images by reducing the amount of light entering the lens. This enables photographers to use wider apertures and slower shutter speeds, resulting in beautiful motion blurs, such as silky smooth water or soft clouds. Additionally, they help to balance exposure in high-contrast scenes, making it easier to capture details in both highlights and shadows.

How do I determine which ND filter to use for different lighting conditions?

The choice of ND filter depends on the specific lighting conditions and the effect you wish to achieve. The ND8 (3 Stop) is suitable for moderate light situations, ideal for capturing flowing water with shutter speeds from 0.5 to 2 seconds. The ND64 (6 Stop) is best during golden hour for longer exposures of 1-2 minutes. For bright daylight conditions, the ND1000 (10 Stop) can extend exposure times up to 5 minutes, allowing for dramatic effects even in harsh sunlight.

Can I stack multiple ND filters from this kit for greater density?

While stacking ND filters can theoretically increase the density, it is generally not recommended as it may lead to vignetting and a decrease in image quality. The NiSi Filters 100mm ND Long Exposure Kit is designed to provide you with a range of density options, allowing you to select the appropriate filter for your specific needs without compromising image integrity.

How does the infrared protection coating on NiSi filters work?

The infrared protection coating on NiSi ND filters is designed to block infrared light that can introduce unwanted colour casts, particularly when shooting at small apertures. This coating ensures that your images maintain true-to-life colours and details without being affected by infrared light, so you can achieve consistent and high-quality results in your photography.

What is the significance of using high-quality optical glass in ND filters?

High-quality optical glass, as used in NiSi filters, is crucial for maintaining image clarity and sharpness. Unlike resin filters, optical glass minimizes distortions and aberrations, ensuring that every detail in your composition is preserved. Additionally, the nano coating on the glass helps repel water and reduce reflections, further enhancing your shooting experience and resulting image quality.

How can I properly care for and clean my NiSi ND filters?

To ensure the longevity and performance of your NiSi ND filters, it's essential to handle them with care. Always use the provided cleaning cloth to gently wipe the surface of the filters. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the glass. When not in use, store the filters in the included soft filter pouch to protect them from dust and scratches, and ensure they are kept in a safe location.
