ND1000 Help
Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2014 10:34 pm
Hi All,
I've recently been shooting landscape using a ND1000 filter. One area I'm trying to accurately measure is balancing the exposure with the ND1000 filter.
I'm aware that my Hoya ND1000 is reducing light by 10 stop, so to obtain the correct exposure you must multiply your shutter speed by 1000.
example.
If given the correct exposure without a filter at 1/125 the resulting exposure time would be 8secs with a Hoya ND1000 filter. 1000/125=8
I read this recently for those shooting with an ND1000 filter.

Is this bit of info correct? Can anyone shed some light on this?
"Shoot in aperture (A or Av) preselection mode, do not use the manual mode (M) as in that case the camera will measure the light to the preset aperture even when the filter is on, so you will get slower shutter speed at the same aperture. ..."
I assumed all HDR and long exposures were best shot in manual so nothing can move during exposure time. The above statement does not really make a lot of sense to me!
thanks for your help.
