The detail is incredible and at ISO 800 to boot.  Thank you, sir!! I almost clicked the ISO to 1600 because it was barely light out...I'm glad I didn't, it gave it a cool 'morning glow' look. I have to add that I did use an ND filter on it for that shot.

Feb 25, 2013 17:28 | #6263 ND filters are mostly used to slow down shutter speed. For instance the shot below was taken in the middle of the day (notice the hard shadows and bright spots), using a 8 stop filter. the shot itself is boring but you can actually see the water flow. normally the shutter would have been 3.2/64 sec. which would have stopped the water, you'd be able to see the drops separately.  2012_07_08_1714 by DutchinCLE, on FlickrDutch Bas

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't polarized filters do the same thing? Shooting photos never killed anyone,

Not quite, although they can darken and add contrast to the sky, polarizing filters usually are used to help reduce reflections and haze. An ND filter reduces the light reaching the sensor in order to increase exposure time.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't polarized filters do the same thing? A polarizing filter will darken the shot by about one, or a little more, f stop, but to get the shutter down slow enough for the shot Dutch posted, you need a darker filter. I just got a Hoya ND400, which is an 8 or 9 stop filter, and I'm hoping to get to use it soon. StillCrazy - after all these years.

Feb 25, 2013 19:17 | #6270 polarizing filters do the same as real polaroid sunglasses. they make blue skies more blue, and remove reflections from water. ofcourse every filter will reduce the amount of reaching the sensor.  The Other Perspective by DutchinCLE, on FlickrPhotographers like Joel Tintjelaar http://www.flickr.com/photos/tjintjelaar/ (another awesome Dutch guy ) is a master of long exposure and the use of ND filtersBas
