NDX1000 Neutral Density Filter Review
Posted May 16th, 2010 by admin with No Comments
A few weeks ago I took order of a brand new B+W NDX1000 Neutral Density filter, which I’d been trying to find for a good while (they’re not easy to get hold of and have to be imported in from the U.S, hence why it was delivered six weeks after I’d ordered it…!)
The filter reduces the amount of light entering the lens by ten stops, meaning you can obtain long exposures during daylight hours (instead of waiting ages for a dramatic sunset, only to be greeted by a grey sky. We’ve all been there).
A couple of weekends ago I was itching to try it out, and was certain that I’d awake on the Saturday morning to see lots of huge interesting clouds looming large over London. The combination of clouds + wind + long exposure = interesting landscape photography (hopefully). Of course, when I pulled back the curtains the sky was blue, crisp and clear – not a cloud to be seen. I must have been the only person in the southeast of England cursing the good weather.
Undeterred, I jumped on a train and set off to London Bridge, hoping that the clouds would roll in and I could capture a dramatic shot of Tower Bridge. The clouds eventually emerged and this is the result:
Girl With A Dolphin
Thank God for clouds, that’s all I can say.
