Is the filter required and if so why what does it do exactly ?
Awesome vudeo and location.May I ask where this was taken at?Thanks
Very useful video, thanks a lot !!
May I ask you, and the community here, how do you work with the spray coming from the see ?
After a few seconds so close from the sea, my lens is usually full of salty droplets, and it blurs the images…
Thanks for your help 🙂
What about focus? Aperture?
Thanks mate i like your energy querky Bastard
What about focal length? Calculating the f stop shutter speed and with the nd? There's a lot more to remember than just the shutter speed!
plus watch out if your using a manual lens for the first time as you have to make sure its sharp before you put on the nd alots of little silly things can catch you out..
Good tip on shutter speed between .25 and 2 seconds approximately for streaming wave texture. If people shoot waves during sunny daytime at f/8 using ND 6 stop filter, shutter speed is 1/6 second or .16 seconds. If you loss a stop with clouds, shutter speed 1/3 or .33 seconds. Sunny golden hour lose 2 stops of light, shutter speed 1.6 seconds.
Appreciate your videos so much 👍
Awesome👍👌👌
I want to take a vacation at the beach and try this. Great video.

Even after pushing the tripod legs down deep into the wet sand, won't the rushing surf cause vibrations in the camera?
Soo beautifull

Hi Joshua, thanks for the tip! I have a question though, I'm still an amateur and don't have a tripod just yet, will the photos come out just as great or will there be a camera shake in the photos? Thanks.
