Urth ND Complete Filter Kit (Plus+) (ND2, ND4, ND8, ND64, ND1000)

Urth ND Coverage Filter Kit (Plus+) (ND2, ND4, ND8, ND64, ND1000)

A versatile ND filter package for nature photography. 5 different strengths of ND filters allow for creative shooting in a variety of lighting conditions. With these, you can, for example, make water look silky smooth in daylight. Moderate strength ND filters are also useful for video shooting in bright weather.

• ND2 filter (1 stop)
  Allows 1/2 of the incoming light to pass through. This is suitable for landscape photography, portrait photography, video photography to control shutter speed, or even indoors with bright light sources.
  
  
• ND4 filter (2 stops)
  Allows 1/4 of the incoming light to pass through. Like an ND2 filter, moderate strength and suitable for cloudy and partly cloudy weather, for example. In addition to photography, it can also be used for video recording to control shutter speed.
  
  
• ND8 filter (3 stops)
  Allows 1/8 of the incoming light through and is suitable from late afternoon to evening after sunset, when this allows you to extend the exposure time so that there is a little movement in the water without it becoming completely silky.
  
  
• ND64 filter (6 stops)
  Allows 1/64 of the incoming light through and is suitable for sunny weather and bright snowy landscapes. ND64 is the most popular and usually the first ND filter chosen, as it allows you to shoot 5-10 second exposures in the afternoon, meaning fast moving water becomes silky smooth.
  
  
• ND1000 filter (10 stops)
  Allows 1/1024 of the incoming light through. This allows you to shoot during sunrise, sunset and the brighter moments in between. With the ND1000 filter you can get silky smooth water surfaces, make moving clouds look striped or even make moving people disappear from a street scene.

The Urth Plus+ filter series uses German B270 SCHOTT glass with a 20-layer nano coating, which makes the filter easier to clean and provides better protection against water, oil and scratches.

What do gray filters enable?

1. You can shoot with large apertures in bright environments without the image being overexposed. For example, a sunny summer day outside, a clear winter day with white snow, or a brightly lit environment. For example, when you want a short depth of field but even if you set the ISO to the lowest value, the image will still be overexposed.

2. You can also use slow shutter speeds during the day. This is useful when you want to emphasize movement, for example waterfalls, traffic, rivers, clouds, smoke, people, etc.

3. You control the shutter speed when shooting video in different lighting conditions. The rule of thumb is that the shutter speed should be twice the frame rate. For example, if you are shooting at 24fps, the shutter speed should be 1/48. When shooting at 100fps, the shutter speed should be 1/200. The lighting and light conditions may be such that the camera cannot handle them without overexposure, so an ND filter helps with this.
