Capture flowing water and a moving sky in a single exposure. An ND 1000× neutral density filter substantially reduces light, allowing longer exposures even during the day. Choose between screw-in Golden Series and Premium Series, matching construction and diameter to your lens.
ND 1000× reduces light by approximately 10 stops and transmits around 0.1% of incoming light. At the same aperture and ISO, exposure time increases approximately one thousandfold. A base exposure of 1/125 s becomes about 8 seconds; 1/30 s becomes about 33 seconds. These calculations are approximate: check the histogram and actual lighting conditions.
A long exposure can smooth water, blur a stream or record cloud trails. The effect depends on movement speed and exposure duration. Moving people may become less prominent; stationary people or a continuous crowd do not automatically disappear. The base lighting determines whether the result is a few seconds or a much longer exposure.
Golden Series offers quality optical glass; the checked 82 mm ND 1000× GS has a brass frame, 14 anti-reflective layers and nano coatings. Premium Series offers screw-in mounting; the checked 72 mm ND 1000× PS has an aluminium frame, 12 anti-reflective layers and nano coatings. Check individual products for the specifications of other sizes.
Use a sturdy tripod and a self-timer or remote release. Before fitting the filter, meter the base exposure and focus as appropriate for your camera. Calculate the new shutter speed, attach the filter and check the histogram. For exposures beyond the camera's timed shutter limit, use Bulb or a timed long-exposure mode. With a DSLR, prevent light entering the optical viewfinder as instructed by its manufacturer. Check the Ø marking on your lens for thread diameter. When using a step-up ring or additional filters, check compatibility across the setup and watch for vignetting.
