The NiSi 82mm HUC IR Neutral Density Filter ND64 (1.8) 6 Stop is
specially designed to reduce the amount of light entering the camera by 6
stops. This filter is made from high-quality optical glass with nano
coating to prevent losing any single bit of detail. Neutral density
filters do not affect the coloration of the image and the 1.8 density
provides a 6 stop reduction in light from entering the lens.
The ND Filter creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you
to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than
normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your
aperture, you are able to control the depth of field and convey movement
in your images. The ND64 6 stops ND filter is generally used during the
golden hour to create exposures of 1-2 minutes for smooth water or
clouds. A 6 Stop is also great for capturing dynamic water while
retaining some texture before the golden hour. By using neutral density filters the camera is vulnerable to infrared
light which will cast the unwanted red color to the photos when
shooting at a small aperture. The added infrared protection coating
layer to this filter helps to eliminate the infrared light through the
lens to bring back the natural color.
