Super important application for ND filters in videography to achieve film looks is to use a common trick with setting your shutter speed to one over double of your FPS (24, 25 or sometimes 30 FPS for cinema look) - so like 1/50 or 1/60. This allows smooth motion blur, but will most likely be overexposed, so here is where ND filter comes into play and saves the day!

Yeah, this seems like a much more practical use case than shown in the demo. I was wondering why he would need a ND f in his demonstration when he could still just adjust the exposure. But I can see some other use cases where lowering exposure wouldn't be enough.

If you decrease the shutter speed you will get a still image. The purpose of nd filters is that you can have long exposure photos with out decreasing the shutter speed.

@megatronopera Жыл бұрын
@@fabianj6008 i actually know the answer now. On a day with tons of light you actually can crank the shutter speed up to allow for a really wide aperture. But one situation where you may want a lower shutter speed would be when you are trying to capture long exposure photos, for example if you are trying to take a photo of a waterfall and have the water look milky and smooth you might set the shutter speed to half a second. But if you do this in bright daylight you will have to up your aperture to compensate for how much light gets in. But if you use an ND filter you can have your cake and eat it too. It allows you to capture photos at a lower aperture, with a slow shutter speed in very bright light.

On the shoe shot, why not just increase the shutter speed? Wouldn't that give you the same effect of the other result with the ND? I just don't see why its *necessary* in that situation. I can see why it is necessary for photographing waterfalls in daylight and with longer exposure of course, or any other situation where you have to keep the exposure longer. But is it useful for anything else?

He was probably trying to finish the video as fast as he could so didn’t bother explaining initially. He did kinda mentioned it with the long exposure, what he really meant to say was if you want motion blur in the image made with slow shutter speed you have to use ND filters. For proper exposure freezing action you can just raise your shutter speed, of course for some cameras the fastest shutter speed is 1/4000s so that really isn’t enough in extremely bright lit conditions and therefore you still need a ND filter. He just wasn’t very good at explaining it.

You are right in relation to photography 📸 yes you could just increase the shutter speed when taking a still photo. In terms of Videography, you want to leave the shutter speed at double your video framerate for example: 25fps = shutter speed of 1/50sec. This keeps a natural amount of motion blur when watching video.

Increasing the shutter speed would DECREASE the amount of light AND decrease the amount of sharp parallel light rays which can be collimated using a lower f-stop.

Although I understand completely what you've said and why an ND filter is important, I don't understand why can't you just raise the shutter speed in that particular example, so that the image won't get bright. For photos of moving subjects with blurry backgrounds I understand that this is useful because, for example, if your taking a picture of a plane passing very fast in front of some scenery, you can put ISO in lowest value for less noise, shutter speed in 1/50th and aperture in f0.95 and that's where an ND filter will help. But in static objects where you don't need low shutter speed I don't understand the purpose of it

dude, if you drop your camera most lenses will simply shatter (as the camera itself) and no ND will ever save them. ND will protect from situations when the lens cap is not on them and other objects (like keys or other metal) can scratch the lens (e.g. in the backpack). You can also simply lose the cap, the ND glass will also help in that case.

@user-xn4cy8js7c11 ай бұрын
No. Neon light is actually oscillating at 60hz; frequency of power grid. It is never always on, but it looks like it. You have to shoot at a frame rate that is a multiple of 60hz (cycles). Like 30 or 60 fps. Don't shoot at 24fps. The neon light is powered from the grid; 120VAC (Alternating Current [AC]). Unlike DC, AC switches polarity and actually goes off every cycle. In the US, 60 times a second.
