NiSi 55mm HUC IR ND64 6 Stop Filter NIR-ND1.8-55 (1.8)

An essential tool for photographers, the NiSi 55mm HUC IR Neutral Density ND64 (1.8) 6 Stop Filter is expertly engineered to decrease the volume of light reaching your camera by a significant 6 stops. Crafted from superior optical glass, this filter boasts a nano coating that ensures no detail is lost in your shots. Unlike other filters, neutral density filters do not alter the coloration of your image. The 1.8 density of this particular filter provides a 6 stop reduction in light, creating a darkening effect across your entire image. This allows for greater flexibility in your photography, enabling you to use a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than would typically be required. By manipulating your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you can gain more control over the depth of field and convey movement in your images. The ND64 6 stop ND filter is a popular choice for capturing smooth water or cloud movements during the golden hour, with exposures typically lasting 1-2 minutes. It's also ideal for capturing dynamic water scenes while retaining texture, even before the golden hour. One of the unique features of this filter is its infrared protection coating. This is crucial as cameras can be susceptible to infrared light, which can cast an unwanted red hue over your photos when shooting at a small aperture. The infrared protection coating on this filter effectively eliminates infrared light through the lens, restoring the natural color to your images. In summary, the NiSi 55mm HUC IR Neutral Density ND64 (1.8) 6 Stop Filter is a high-quality, versatile tool that offers photographers greater control over their images, while ensuring the preservation of natural color and detail.
