A Gloxy ND Filter is also used in other circumstances; It is extremely useful for outdoor photo sessions when the daylight is combined with a fill flash. Once we have the perfect lighting, when we obtain a smoothly blurred background we can open most of the diaphragm. To compensate the shutter speed will increase, but beware! if using a flash, we can not increase it too much or we lose synchronization.

For example, you can not use a faster shutter speed of 1/250; so the image is overexposed. This is where the ND filter comes in: so you can keep both settings to meet your requirements; an ND filter allows us to avoid overexposing the image and helps to achieve perfect exposure, complete with an attractive blurred background that will highlight the subject.

The classic silk effect in water is one of the well-known effects we can create using an ND filter. Thanks to an ND filter placed on the lens you can use a very slow shutter speed without overexposing the image. The following picture was taken with an exposure time of 15 seconds and a diaphragm aperture of f/25. You can acquire motion effects anytime and anywhere; no matter what the lighting circumstances.
