Neutral Density Filter

Neutral Density Filter.

Neutral Density (ND) Filter is an optical filter used in photography and imaging to reduce the intensity of light without affecting its color. It allows photographers to control exposure settings in bright conditions. ND filters are gray or colorless and work by blocking a portion of incoming light. They are commonly used in cameras to achieve effects like motion blur or shallow depth of field in bright environments.

Specifications

• Optical Density (OD): Varies (e.g., ND2, ND4, ND8, etc.)

• Material: Glass or resin

• Transmission: Reduces light intensity by a specific factor

• Types: Fixed ND filters, Variable ND filters

• Mounting: Screw-on or drop-in slot

Uses

• Long Exposure Photography: Helps capture motion blur in waterfalls, clouds, and moving objects.

• Shallow Depth of Field: Allows wide apertures in bright conditions.

• Video Recording: Prevents overexposure when filming in daylight.

• Scientific & Industrial Applications: Used in laser systems and optical experiments.

Features

• Uniform Light Reduction: Does not alter color balance.

• Multiple Density Options: Available in different strengths for various lighting conditions.

• Stackable Design: Can be combined for greater light reduction.

• Durable Construction: Made from high-quality optical glass or resin.
