Thanks Ian
ND4 will cut the light getting through to your sensor by 75%OK which one does what please or is it depends on sunlight and common sense,,,I can see 3 different shades and now time to find out ..can someone explain please
Cool thank you,they came with drone so had to askND4 will cut the light getting through to your sensor by 75%
ND8 will only let 12.5% of the light get through.
These filters are useless for drone stills photography (unless you have a particular reason to want to force a slower shutter speed).
The CPF is a circular polarising filter.
It removes polarized light from the image, thus reducing reflections and glare, while at the same time increasing color saturation—especially that of a blue sky.
But a CPS is a pain to use properly on a drone because it has to be properly aligned with respect to teh sun angle.
You can set it up to work with the drone pointing in one direction but if you move the drone to face a different direction, you've now got a misaligned CPF which isn't going to do what you want it to.
I take a lot of pictures with my Nikon of waterfalls. You have to use a tripod or the picture will be blurry. The ND filter helps slow the shutter speed down to give the waterfalls a soft lacy effect. Without it the water droplets would freeze in mid air.As a purely practical person and not a camera buff ... I read up and then try.
The result is that about 60% of the time I have the ND8 filter on ... rest of the time - nothing.
I literally don't know what shutter speed / ISO or whatever ... all I know is that the histogram and the filter together give me better clarity and definition in my recordings ... a pro camera person of course would tear my offerings apart .. but for me - they are fine.
I often read the comment that the filters have no use or ineffective for stills shots ............ mmmmm I'll just disagree there. Doesn't make sense when all the literature tends to 'focus' more on stills than video ! (Just read through the article I linked to previous post). Plus why should the camera act differently for stills than video ? Surely it has similar effect on the end results - because that's what I see with mine.
Set a camera on a tripod, slow the shutter to about a 4 to 6 seconds shot and use a remote to take the picture. You can easily have the same picture. The top pic is in Rastoke, Croatia , the other is in West Virginia.All I can say to that is ............ AWESOME shots ... and I don't mean that like many say to vids etc. thrown up on the forums ... those are to me - truly awesome.
I wonder what effect you are seeing.I often read the comment that the filters have no use or ineffective for stills shots ............ mmmmm I'll just disagree there.
