Post your 9 or 10 stop ND photos

Yeah, I was wondering that too as I was scrolling through. Haha.

classic post and run. This is one thread on POTN that is usually not so bad about that.

^wrong thread maybe...this thread is for images captured using 9/10 stop ND filters.

Correct, that it's a different subject matter but I'm sure the photographer used a 9/10 stop ND. Many of the examples show maximum apertures in broad daylight with strobes, quite difficult without a ND filter to achieve.

Yeah but surely not a 9 or 10 stop ND?

I can't imagine trying to shoot portraits with a 9 or 10 stop...I have used a 2 stop shooting primes...but 9 or 10 stop is solid black!

I don't know how you could take a portrait using a big stopper...

In this group listed below, they are shooting portraits with ND's of various density's and a strobe. If you are shooting in bright daylight, you need it. Not sure if any of them are at the density of this threads theme or not, though.

Where did the poster of those portraits run? He should be here to answer by himself.

Well, honestly speaking, those portraits never telling me to use 9/10 stops for portraits even if it can be done, mostly i will go with 3 stops even if i use full power of the lighting under bright sun with high ISO and wide open aperture, it is like we try very extreme settings and filters just to give nice results, and after all, even those are really nice shots but it didn't show me the importance of 9-10 stops ND.

Anyway, i am sure someone else will come and post shots of Macro or wildlife with 9-10 stops ND because he/she can and post here, good, keep going.

Well, with a 10-stop and some serious flashes, we should be able to see of the model gets browner and browner (or maybe more red) between each shot, as being hit by that amount of flash is no fun. I would expect the model to go blind after the first flash pop. 10 stop does after all mean 1000 times more light for the same shutter speed

I usually take my photos 24 times a second, but I used 10 stops of ND and slowed down to a reasonable 2 pictures per second for most of my timelapse video. I love how the long tails make the motion more fluid.
