Very nice Travis.

Anyone use Nisi brand ND filters? They are made in China like Haida.

how many stops is your go to ND filter during the day and during the night?

I need to sort out ND's really.

I have a Hoya ND8 which is fine - I used it a lot on holiday with the Av-1 so I could shoot wide apertures as I had ISO200 film.

I have a B+W ND110 which is okayish by itself but goes horribly wrong with the Hitech grad - even though the Hitech is fine with the Hoya......

I'm still pretty convinced the Haida will give better colours than the B+W though.

Depending on how long I want my shutter.....

Day: 10 or 15-stops

Golden Hour: 3 or 6 stops

Night: Night is an ND unto itself...NDs not needed. Shooting at night in Times Square might be different...lots of light in that environment I imagine.

This is a DYI bird bath I'm making for the hummingbirds. I still need to hide the tubing and wire better, do some more decorating and probably raise the bamboo 'bridge' a bit more somehow to get some splash going. The "flagstone" rock is at a slight angle and keeps the water shallow.

The pump I'm using is solar powered and because it gets so hot where I live, I wanted the bath to be on my patio under shade. This pump has the solar panel separated by a long wire that allows me to have it both ways. If this experiment works out, I may try to find another solar powered pump but next time, one with a backup battery.

long exposure also eliminates moving people in the scene.

i'll let you know. would love to. I'm from Davao City though so if we go for a vacation, we fly with Singapore Airlines. They have a connecting flight from Singapore to Davao. If Pres. Duterte cleans up NAIA/Manila, we might be confident again to go through Manila. haha

It all depends on the light levels. To make people disappear you're going to want a minutes-long exposure. So, what ND for that? Impossible to say because artificial light levels on a street vary from place to place (and time to time).

During the day it's easier to say: 15-stop ND will make people disappear.

I think a 3, 6, 10, and 15-stop ND kit will pretty much get the job done in any scenario. You can work your aperture and ISO to fill the gaps.

Yep...what he said...

Thanks for all the tips re: ND filters. I ordered a 10stop for now. I need 3 and 6 stop then. Found a cheap one but interesting review.

this Minolta Rokkor 58mm F1.2 is a good company for night photowalk.

Agree with David A on the filters.

No ND filter used here. Just the good old Smooth Reflections app.

I already forgot my playmemories account. I need to login again. Havent use the apps i bought before and it seems that smooth reflection apps looks cool.

I remember some of you folks having a bear of a time actually buying Sony Apps...I can't get it to accept a credit card or my paypal...it always says its invalid...WTF...it won't let me add $$ to the wallet...
