An ND filter acts like sunglasses would to your eyes, it blocks light
coming into the lens like sunglasses blocks light coming into your
eyes. ND stands for Neutral Density which means it blocks the light
in a neutral way without changing the colour of the light.
When you block light coming into your lens you’re are forced to
expose the camera to light for a longer period of time. You have to
open the shutter for longer to allow for the correct amount of
light to enter the camera.
Screw on Type
The screw in types are very good value for money (around £10 or $15 each), you can get lots of different brands of these and they all do pretty much the same thing. If you’re just
starting out I recommend getting one of these types that will fit your widest-angle lens or your standard zoom lens, this will be great for getting those long exposure landscape shots.
ND Grad filters
ND Grads are mainly used to darken down skies and balance out your exposure.
