How to use an ND Filter for Landscape Photography

Hello Jason… Jerry here. I just viewed your video on ND Filters. Today, for the first time, I tried daytime long exposure photo. I’m visiting family in New Orleans and went to a spot called Blind Lake. It’s in St James Parrish, (county) for those of us not from Louisiana. lol. Great video but I’m still a bit confused. I shot the photo in TV mode on my Canon 90d. I usually shoot AV mode. The confusion was i was listening for the open and closure of the lens to get my shot. It was an overcast morning, but i think I was able to capture what I wanted. Yes, it’s hard to comment when I did not show you the end results. That will be in next comment. So my question is, if i shoot in TV mode with a 30” exposure, it’s the same as if I’m in AV mode. I set the SS and the camera does the rest. I set in manual mode same exposure of 30” ISO auto and i think my F/ was f/14. I’ll send photo tomorrow for your comments. I just need to know for long exposure is it best in TV or Manual mode at 30” using ND at 6 stops or max of 10 stops. Thank you.

WIND NOISE.....ANNOYING. AS A PRO YOU CAN DO BETTER

I haven't been to Big Bear Lake since the early 90's, I was from the valley below, pretty place!
I just used a lee big stopper today about 2500 miles away in beautiful Nebraska. Best wishes

Thanks Jason, that was great.

Have to admit I'm kind of a noobie with this but something is cofusing me. The the example shots the data reads the same f-stop, same shutter speed and same ISO for all the shots from 8 seconds all the way to 30 seconds. How did you accomplish that with the same ND fileter?

What polorarizer filter dod you use? The sky and the clouds look unbelievable.

Great lesson, but the look of the lake appears out of focus to me and not what I would want. But, you taught me how to use an ND filter and I'm looking forward to getting one and experimenting. Thanks!

Hi Jason, what kind of tripod is it? Thanks

Great and clear information Jason! I have subscribed to your channel! thanks

Thank you Jason. Excellent video and very well presented

Wonderful tutorial! Thanks Jason.

Good work Jason, I enjoyed the video.

You take long exposure with the hand on the camera? And without timer or external shutter release??? First thing on the long exposure is avoid moving the camera!

Excellent and clear instructions. Thank you.

How about not touching the camera while taking the shot?

Lovely, comparison very helpful, vblog well done.

Good job providing broad examples.. Shows people they should experiment with exposure times

Hi Jason, very good introduction to using an nd-filter for longer exposures. Maybe i missed you talking about it, but I noticed you covering your viewfinder with your hand - was this to stop light leaking onto the sensor?

Nice work Jason!

Very helpful information. I am going to try using an ND filter now!

Very good information. I have wondered how you photographers do that.
