Long exposure photography/slow door photography has always been a popular subject for cityscape photographers
I've previously shot with different brands of filters, or processed images in stacks
But in the end, it was found that ND dimmers were best for long-exposure/slow-door photography

01 Tips for using the light absorber
Long exposures were filmed in Chongqing, and the most famous is the trajectory of the ship where the two rivers meet.
In the past, I felt that the long exposure time was too long, and I wanted to combine a complete track or calm water into a complete track or calm water through 30 seconds + shooting cooperation, but the result was unsatisfactory, either too silky enough, or the water surface was not calm enough.

This time, I shot with a Fujifilm GFX100S + Canon 24 tilt-shift lens with a NiSi submersible.
Shooting Tips/Photography Tutorials:
1. Use NiSi filter software to calculate a reasonable exposure time according to the current exposure parameters of the camera and the number of filter files
2. Night scene shooting of the track on average 15-30 minutes (if it is a 6-level dimmer, the time can be controlled within 15 minutes, I am considering that the daytime 10-level dimmer can be universal, so the night exposure time will be a little longer.

02 Summary of advantages
During the use of NiSi light absorbers, there is no shooting color difference, white balance inaccuracy (most brands of light absorbers after coating, the color is close to dark purple, shooting photos will appear purple), the damage to image quality is very small.

Use the NiSi NC ND1000 filter
Whether it's scenery, architecture, or portraits, the need for filters will always exist
Choosing a good filter will do more with less
