This is a neutral variable density filter ranging from ND2 to ND400. In other terms, you will have the possibility to choose a different neutral density according to the light intensity of the scene or to the effect you want to achieve. If you put the filter set to low density, ND2, it will pass 50% of the light that reaches the lens. The minimum exposure is ND400. It is very easy to use, you only have to turn the filter on the lens to get the density required.

You can easily adjust the density you need by turning the filter on the lens

Get creative exposures in your landscapes and portrait shootings

When you want to generate creative effects such as blurry water or clouds in motion, you have to select very low shutter speeds. However, in very bright light situations, the picture is generally overexposed, even though you close the shutter at its maximum. The solution? The Gloxy ND2-ND400 filter.

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, yo cannot increase it too much or you will lose synchronization. But once again, the ND filter helps you to maintain the parameters you chose and produce the required effect with no risk of overexposure.

But if you prefer portrait photography or street photography, you must know that the Gloxy ND filter is also useful for these situations (and for so many more!). The creative possibilities are limitless, the only limit would be your imagination!

With this filter, you can use lower shutter speeds even in very bright light sitautions. Therefore, you can take advantage of the filter in many sitautions and freeze the movement, as shown in the picture below:
