Thank you for this one :) I would never think of this

[saxonlight]

If you are going to photograph the sun I would strongly recommend a real/dedicated solar filter and not simply an ND filter regardless of how dark the ND filter is. Dedicated solar filters are designed to filter a much wider spectrum of light including infrared and ultraviolet which can both damage your retina/camera, in addition to visible light. They also feature energy rejection layers that stop heat build up in the filter reducing the risk of a filter cracking due to heat.

you will get removed by security assholes if you take pictures in museum

[bthemedia]

loving the bluppers afterwards too =) lol

[kaouthiavideo]

"get a couple of these guys and stack them"...

That'd then make the 10 second exposure about an hour and a half. I've seen some fantastic stuff shot in the middle of London, New York & Tokyo on film with lots of ND and 6hr or so exposures to get rid of all the traffic, people, birds flying, etc. Amazing stuff.

Beautifull tutorial !!!!!

[whitemsk]

but what if the backgrounds moves and the subject still

[MaghoxFr]

Awesome tutorial!

[MrMAAKK]

Hi, very nice video , I have 2 B+W 77mm ND 3.0 1000X filters (10 stops) , do you think stacking them both and getting 20 stops approx. will work on walking people ? ...and is there a lot of diffraction risk at F 22 ? I haven't tried it but if someone has , can you please share the results or settings and time of the day ,thanks :)

[killingyou22]

can we done this by using a normal ND8 filter but with a very slow shutter speed?

[Simaster]

Why does a slow shutter speed remove the cars?

[emailzforlife]

@Simaster they are not in the same place for very long, so they get covered up by the times where there are no cars

[MyFantagero]

@Simaster i think it is not about the slow shutter speed, when you use the really dark filter, the reflected light from the car wont be captured by the sensor (remember that photography is about capturing light).

the slow shutter is to make sure enough light from the non-moving structure being capture by the sensor. i bet if there is parked car somewhere, it will be captured

[ablundon]

I just looked at a long exposure nighttime photo of a street and saw all of the car headlights as long streaks of light. That got me thinking...I'm wondering if the technique presented here would work in Canada where law requires that all vehicles be equipped with day time running lights (i.e. headlights are always on). Would the headlight strength be strong enough to show up during these long exposures in the daytime? I'd try it but I don't have any ND filters at the moment.

[MaghoxFr]

@ablundon Good point, same thing here in my country. I will have to try it out. My guess is that as the difference in light between the cars' headlights and the daylight is not as big as in night, with an ND filter you should do just fine.

[teratonexplosion]

very useful video! Mark is the best :)

[ronbpix]

Thank you very much. Never knew about this before. :)

[fryedm]

I know this is off topic but what tripod are you using?

[diwash9612425]

@fryedm you can see in the description and its link !!!

[fryedm]

@diwash9612425 I guess I should have looked there.  thanks!

[Fa9ooly323]

What about CPL filter for portraits/more contrast?

Thank you

[salsero206]

very nice!!



[TheNormanvsNorman]

Great vid!

[scholesville]

@snapfactory Hey mark, did you do any postprocessing of the photos, I thought using these filters will give you some color cast?

[skidgalning]

@scholesville depends of the quality of the filter..

[Fibr3Optix]

Should you use a Square filter for a wide angle lens? With my circular ND filter on my 10 - 22mm lens I get dark patches.

[HansomArdvark]

@Fibr3Optix Yes, take a look at the Cokin Z Pro filter system. It was designed specifically for wide angle zooms.

[safeharbor7]

Thumbs up... 

[robertlam18]

Great stuff

[damikele80]

what is the model of tripod that you used in this video for your 5Dm2?

[1rhett1]

@damikele80 check the description.

[damikele80]

@1rhett1 sorry, I had not read

[Langtoftphotography]

You learn something new every day, thanks Mark..

[rkgowdy]

LA in rush hour... would be bad because nothing moves :)

[enzo226]

that was such an awesome tip , i had no idea that could be done , thanks mark

[chris25119600]

Great Tip Mark, like the outtakes

..thanks for sharing

[hibbledor]

Mark, thanks for another great video. You seemed a bit down - maybe it's me. Hope all is well.

[amanullang]

Mark, what tripod and tripod head do you use? I'm looking to get one but there are so many models out there that I'm at lost.

[stutaylor87]

Wow, fabulous Mark. I have an ND but didn't realise you could go that far with the density. I've taken shots at night at a lookout with people in the way and as long as they keep moving they disappear and those that have paused then moved on look like ghosts. Cheers Mark - love your work!!

[Turtlena315]

hehehe if you think the I-10 is crowded here in Arizona... you should see some of the highways in Chicago

[theone2225]

@Turtlena315 its like the ones outside NYC....Its such a pain in the ass getting to my aunt and uncles house, you sit in traffic no matter what time of day it is.

[kickyourasspls]

@Turtlena315 and you should see highway 401 in toronto here :)
