Question from Felix: “How do you do long-exposure pictures during the day without getting it too white?”

Brian:  3.0 Filter – reduces light by 10 stops

Alisha: dont know

Luis:  ND filter

Andrea: What they said! I’m gettin one cause I wanna do beach shots and boats on the docks but I need a filter too

Felix: Thanks every one but not an other way like like the Iso or sonething….

Alicia:  No, you’ll need a neutral density filter., especially if the suns shining. You can try setting the ISO as low as it will go and closing the aperature, (set to the highest number possible) but you will most likely still need the ND filter.

Felix: Thanks a lot Alicia!!!

Andrea: And yes you can always close your aperture so depending on the look you want, but you lose depth of field so that’s why the ND filter is a beauty. Mmmm can’t wait to get my hands on it too
