Very good article, very informative and I'm impressed. Did you have help or do it all yourself? Because... Whenever I do such things I always need my wife to fix my horrible grammatical errors.

 

[old man mavic]

well done on a great article well laid out

Thanks!

I wrote it all, using wordpad.. So no spellcheck lol

but in wordPress, yes, spellcheck.

i appreciate it though.
hopefully more to come

well done on a great article well laid out

Thanks OMM

Well written, thank you!!

you can use filters to slow shutter speeds, allowing for more color saturation in the end result

There's a lot of misunderstanding about what ND filters do.
They don't give more colour saturation.
They don't change the look of the image at all which is why they are called Neutral Density.
They just cut the light levels that get through to the sensor.

Look at PolarPros website.

Then tell them they are wrong.


Not starting anything Meta, but I can cite my sources.

Think about it...

The sky is red from sunset. So you hold the shutter open longer. Allowing for more "red"

Nicely done

It doesn't work like that.
Think about it.
If leaving the shutter open for longer lets in more colour (red in your example of a sunset ) then in a normal landscape the blue sky & green grass would be oversaturated if a long shutter speed was used.

If they say that .. they are wrong too.

Like I said ... there's a lot of misunderstanding.

I'm only going by what a company that makes ND filters says

Read it again.
They are aren't saying what you think they are.
They are talking about an ND/PL
That's a polarising filter (combined with an ND filter)

Very well done and informative article !!! keep the nice work!!

So PL adds color saturation?

Also, it talks about "2 stops"...

AFAIK, PL filters don't have "stops"

Polarisers affect saturation.

Also, it talks about "2 stops"...
AFAIK, PL filters don't have "stops"

Polarisers don't have stops .. but they reduce the light by about two stops.
Just like an ND8 doesn't have stops , but it still reduces the light getting to the sensor by 3 stops.

What about where it says an ND64/PL (about 5 stops, according to the manufacturer) would further the color saturation?

I know the PL "stops" aren't increasing.... Right?

What you are trying to ask here isn't clear.
