ND Filters - What Are They? What Do They Do? Do I Need One? Hi and welcome to Episode 134 of the Photography Explained podcast.
Here is the answery bit
ND stands for neutral density. A neutral density filter reduces the amount of light that passes through the lens to the camera sensor. This gives the photographer more control over the camera settings that he or she can use, whilst still getting a correct exposure in a variety of lighting conditions. ND filters can be used in very bright conditions to help get the correct exposure, or to reduce the depth of field. ND filters allow photographers to use longer shutter speeds in conventional lighting situations for creative reasons, such as to blur water, clouds or anything moving in the photo.
ND filters are basically sunglasses for cameras. And a very cool tool that I love to use!
