Brilliant! I really have to watch the film several times and go out and try it. I already have those expensive ND filters already though!

A great technique to have in the bag though for when you forget the filters like I often do. And perfect for traveling light too.

I love using nd filters for long exposures (30 sec) on a sunny day, I don't see how I could achieve this look any other way. But you are right : neutral grad filters are crap, and their effect is 'destructive'. I don't like rectangular glass filters either, they are very fragile. I prefer screw on nd-filters.

Try combining lots of short exposures, you can get a pretty similar effect to a 30 second exposure. Great technique for when you forget those filters!

The blended water frames dont look like an actual long exposure in my eyes. Getting even a cheap ND and fixing a slight color cast seems far superior. IMO color correction is pretty simple for anyone who edits photos, and def less hardware taxing than blending 30-80 images in photoshop

I think the technique works best making say a slowish shutter speed into a super long shutter speed. It's a great technique to know about too for those days you're traveling light or forget your filters.

Sorry, this is a very confusing vlog. It starts as ND filters but suddenly it's about Graduated ND filters. Err, two different filter types. Plus, not sure about this constant reference to spending hundreds of dollars for quality ND filters. Really?? Who's buying filters at that price?

It's talking about filters in general, one example, the first, is a technique you can use rather than graduate NDs. The second is a technique you can use instead of general NDs or variable NDs. Sorry you found it confusing! That filter in my hand at the start retails at over $300CAD. You'll find a lot of professional photographers pay a lot of money for high end filters that have no colour cast and minimal vignetting. As a beginner people buy cheap filters that have bad artifacts so it begs the question if you can't buy the best ones is it even worth it.
