misato said:There is no hard and fast rule for a ND use. Its primary use is to reduce stops of lights.
Immediate use for it is to increase exposure time in brighter conditions. Example is taking waterfall/moving water during day time conditions. For me personnally, i often use it to capture the effect of motion during day time shoots.

make sure u get a truly neutral ND that does not have colour casts.
I use it mainly for landscape photography. by the way, i'm using Cokin P Series ND4 and ND8. not very neutral. :sweat:
nightwolf75 said:cheesecake - i believe cokin gives a slight pinkish cast? :sweat:
i use a hoya ND4. pretty useful for extremely bright sunlight conditions. been trying to get a screw-on GND filter. CP dun carry them... sigh... :cry:
Cheesecake said:hi...
i don't know abt the colour casts by Cokin but i've used the expensive ND filters from Lee and can conclude that there's some difference. not that easy to differentiate for most laymen but for the experts here, no problem! haha
those photos are taken on slides back when i was still using film cameras. under the scope, quite obvious.
what u pay for is what u get, i believe. but i'm very happy with my Cokin nonetheless.
nightwolf75 said:true. me can't tell the diff too... even tho the pros out there keep on telling me hoya sucks, got yellowish cast etc... etc... heck. at $30 bucks a pop, who's complaining? :bsmilie:
now... if only CP or some big time stores bring in the screw-on GND filters... :think:

Cathay has them! ;pemollientcolt said:Hi, anyone knows where to get lee filters in singapore?
Jer said:What is the exact ref no for the ND4 & 8 that you mention....can't find in the brochure?
Cheesecake said:i can't tell for sure. but Lee Frost(photographer and author of a numerous books including The Professional Guide to Filters)suggests Singh-Ray and Lee as very good ND filters, I think, can't remember for sure.
but i understand they costs a lot.
Cheesecake said:u refering to Cokin, right? for i only know abt Cokin...
from my boxes, it stated P153 (ND4) and P154(ND8).
