I don’t understand the “thumbs down” - if you’re a great photographer, you’d have wished for information like this and so wouldn’t give a thumbs down. If you’re new to photography, then this information is absolutely vital to great Long Exposure images.
I think it was a brilliant video with every bit informative.
Thank you!

This is by far the best guide on this subject I have seen on Youtube. thanks!

General Rule for ND Filters:

- Little Stopper (6 Stops) to blur people and movement at 1/2 s

- Big Stopper (10 Stops) to blur movements from water and/or clouds for 30s to 1min

- Super Stopper (15 Stops) to blur cloud movement w/o water for 2-4min

Probably the most well put together on Long exposure photography I’ve ever seen. Plenty of videos teach people how to shoot long exposure but don’t ever mention Nd filters. this video not only mentioned them but gave a bit of beginner knowledge on them. Very useful 👍

Thank you Gordon! Excellent video, and a clear, focused ( no pun intended), and thorough explanation of the relationship between ISO, aperture, shutter speed, the filters, and the light they control. CHEERS!!

I have been watching your videos since my first dslr, an oly e520. Still here some years later, while waiting for my panny G9 to arrive. Cheers Gordon!

[nataliepoole]

[Vloggleboxtv]

By far the best tutorial i have watched ive searched for hours and came across quick rubbish videos but after watching this i now understand long exposure. Great in depth tutorial mate. Thank you ✊

I've seen you on the beach! I'll bring my camera next time

[southbear]

Fantastic video! I like the idea of JPEG photos directly from camera. Nowadays too many people are talking about computer skills, PS, LR etc, rather than camera skills. Appreciate your contribution! Hope to see more videos like this. Subscribed.

I think "you can buy me a coffee using the link below" is the best plug for Pay Pal or Patreon that I've ever heard. So smooth :)
