Almost! If I stacked my 2 stop (RIP) 3 stop NDs and my 3 stop Reverse GND I'd get about 8 stops of ND. Most often not enough and I'd get heavy vignetting too stacking so many filters. Hope to remedy some of that with the 10 stop. Now the anxious waiting begins. At least I have NO free time in the future to shoot for myself and will probably get the filter before I do!

General question - Please help a me understand the desired results of a photo without an element of movement by stopping down 9 or 10 stops. I absolutely understand the effect with water, clouds, etc. I see several photos in the string of still objects and I can't see where the effect has enhanced the photo.

Anyone care to enlighten me a bit?

Thanks

Still objects can be "isolated" from their busy surroundings. Busy street with a statue? 10-Stops will eliminate (or severely blur) all but those sitting for the duration of the exposure. Busy highway? 10-Stops can make the traffic almost entirely disappear. A "lightly" wavy lake in the mountains can appear smooth like glass.

Now for actual "still life"? A bowl of fruit will still look like a bowl of fruit.

There are some awesome shots here and it's making me want to put on my 10 stop b + w again.

Hi, OK I got a 10 stop C&C welcome.
Thanks.

this is great. i'm loving the tones and the water.

awesome thread....I shall try to contribute this weekend!

I need to get a 9 or 10 step since all I have right now is my ND4 filter

I tried to stack my new 8x and 4x ND filters today during sunset. Somehow I think it's still not quite enough. I'm kind of confused how you guys get so much lower shutter speeds from a 10x...

Here's my best shot from today:

Hi all, I have a question. What sort of effect do you get with dual cpls? Will I be able to produce richer skies and remove more water surface glare? At the moment i have a hoya pro1 cpl and am interested in getting another to stack them. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have just orderd bw10 stoppper and cant wait to try it out.

Are you talking about the B+W 102 and 103 filters? Those are two stop and three stop filters, respectively. Add another 5 stops to your image above and you have a very long exposure.

I think you might be getting number of stops confused with the "filter factor" B+W uses to describe their filters. The B+W handbook claims a "filter factor" of 4x and 8x for the 102 and 103, while the 110 filter (the 10 stop filter many use in this thread) has a "filter factor" of 1000x.
