Nisi ND Long Exposure Kit

The NiSi Filters 100mm ND Long Exposure Kit is a new kit from NiSi Filters featuring three 100x100mm IR neutral density filters: ND8 (3 stop), ND64 (6 stop), and ND1000 (10 stop). Neutral density (ND) filters uniformly reduce the amount of light entering the lens. The ND filter can enable greater motion blurring and image detail by allowing a large aperture and a slow shutter speed. ND filters are also helpful when the contrast between the highlights and shadows is too high to achieve a quality exposure.

The ND8 (3 stop) is commonly used for waterfalls and capturing water flow at shutter speeds from 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds. The ND64 (6 stop) filter is generally used during golden hour to create exposures of 1-2 minutes for smooth water or clouds, or is also great for capturing dynamic water while retaining some texture before the golden hour. The ND1000 (10 stop) is used during the day outside of golden hour, as the bright ambient light requires much more light blocking. These filters can prolong exposures for up to 5 minutes during golden hour with the appropriate settings.

The NiSi Filters 100mm ND Long Exposure Kit also includes a NiSi soft filter pouch that holds four 100x100mm filters (or four circular filters up to 95mm), a cleaning cloth, and four replacement foam gaskets.

NiSi ND filters do not affect the coloration of the image, offer true-to-life color, and are made from high-quality optical glass (not resin) with a nano coating to prevent losing any detail. By using a neutral density filter, the camera is vulnerable to infrared light, which can cast an unwanted red color in photos when shooting at a small aperture. NiSi ND filters have an infrared protection coating layer to eliminate infrared light through the lens, bringing back the natural true-to-life color.
