ORIENTAL MINDORO | Beach Rockies From Puerto Galera
Long Exposure Sunrise Photos
These
are some of the first photographs I have taken with my new Neutral
Density (ND) Filter. Though it had been a couple of weeks since I
started lugging it in my camera bag, demanding its own space being a
specialized filter. My verdict is, that the ND filter lived up to its
purpose and I love it.
ND
filter has many uses and the one that I wanted to try is capturing
movement in water, or in this case since I am in the beach, it would
make the surface of the water silky giving it a dreamy look.
Photographing rocks without the filter is really a challenge, capturing
the textures and maintaining its sharpness, not to mention the water
with its constant movement is not very pleasant to look at in a frame.
With the use of ND Filter, I get to try long exposures under full
daylight of the morning Sun. My only worry was how to make adjustments
using Manual mode in the camera when the filter, a black glass as it is
blocks the view. Turns out, I can go shoot to full slow shutter and even
open the aperture levels and still get the images of the rocks as sharp
without even the need to adjust its sharpness in editing.
As
I explore more about landscape and travel, I realize that there is more
for me to discover and enjoy, bringing fulfillment to this passion of
seeing the world one frame at a time. This new filter that I am so crazy
about makes me too eager to explore more of this beautiful country The
Philippines, and like everyone else, I find it expensive but taking it
one step at a time doesn't hurt, so this ND 400 filter at 9 f stops will
be just one of the many that I'll start to collect from now on.
I hope you enjoy these prototype captures as I try to experiment with this approach to photography. Let me know your thoughts.
