SECOND7 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I was wondering, since shooting in broad day light the ND or ND grad filter was recommended. Are there any form of filters that are recommended for night photography? or there are none? I happened to come across this website http://www.igloophotography.com/gall...yScapesTravel/ the night scenes are sharp and nicely taken. hope to get some advice from the experienced. Thank you _________________ mobility scooter Active Adult Community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azurael Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I've never used anything but a tripod, MLU and timed shutter release to take night photos. The last thing I'd want to be doing when working with limited light is to let less of it reach the sensor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 filters reduce the amount of light by definition. For night photography, you want all the light you can get. Though filters might be used for long exposures of static items in low light; generally, you wouldn't use any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Sherman Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Depending on how much light is in the area, you could get some use out of an ND filter if you wanted longer shutter speeds. Otherwise, no filter. The link doesn't seem to work, but all you need for night shots is a tripod and a camera, ideally a remote shutter release too though you could always just use the timer setting.
