46mm Neutral Density 6 Stop (106) SC F-Pro

B+W ND (neutral density) filters, reduce the whole visible light spectrum in a uniform manner and thus lead to a reduction in light intensity without affecting colour and contrast. Uses for ND filters - Sometimes large apertures are needed in bright ambient light in order to separate a model optically from the background. Using several minutes of exposure time, architectural photographers can make people passing through the work space “invisible”. In landscape photography, flowing water or the surface of the sea can be made to appear fluffy and soft like cotton candy. This B+W ND filter, which reduces light entering the camera by six f-stops, already qualifies as an extreme filter. With this filter, and without changing the aperture (and DOF), an exposure time of 1/60 s becomes a full second. Running water is rendered hazy and soft. A tripod is necessary in any case.
