At f\/16 and ISO100, it is impossible to achieve a slow enough shutter speed to get the ideal amount of blur in the waves while the sun is up. Three stops of darkening will normally allow a shutter speed of 1\/10s to 1\/2s during this golden sunlight phase, producing soft lines in the waves. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6-Stop | 1.8\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- This filter serves the same purpose as the 10-stop, but it is better suited for sunset and sunrise. When the sun is close to setting or rising, a 10-stop ND will require a very long shutter speed at f\/11-16 and ISO100 to produce the correct exposure - often as much as 5-10 minutes. A 6-stop ND is thus much more suited for capturing long exposures of 30-60s around sunset and sunrise. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10-Stop | 3.0\u003c\/strong\u003e - This filter is used primarily for blurring the sea to a flat mist and for blurring clouds into abstract lines.

Graduated ND filters are dark on the top half and transparent on the bottom half. When the dark part is positioned over the sky of an image, it ‘reduces’ the amount of light allowed through that part of the frame and this results in a darkened exposure of the sky. On the left side of the image, it shows the result without any filter and on the right, it shows the result with the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eGraduated ND filters are available in soft, medium and hard and this determines the distance of the transition between the dark part and the transparent part. The softer the graduation, the more even the transition between the darkened area and the normal area. There are also reverse and horizon grads, which are a slight alteration.

Many photographers often found hard grads too hard and soft grads too soft and thus it was obvious that something in between was necessary. It is also the perfect solution for photographers that don’t want to commit to a hard or soft grad. Not everyone can afford to buy the full range of these filters and the medium grads are an excellent new compromise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReverse Grad – \u003c\/strong\u003eThese filters serve a very niche, but useful purpose. When shooting into a bright sunset\/sunrise, the brightest area is right on the horizon and then the sky darkens towards the top. When using a normal graduated ND, it will result in a correctly exposed horizon, but the top part of the sky will be far too dark. A Reverse Grad also has a clear lower half, but it is darkest in the middle and then gets lighter towards the top. This allows one to more accurately balance those exposures that are brightest on the horizon. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAll the different types of grads are available in different densities because light is dynamic and different scenes require a different amount of ‘darkening’ of the sky.

At f\/16 and ISO100, it is impossible to achieve a slow enough shutterspeed to get the ideal amount of blur in the waves while the sun is up. Three stops of darkening will normally allow a shutterspeed of 1\/10s to 1\/2s during this golden sunlight phase, producing soft lines in the waves. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6-Stop | 1.8\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- This filter serves the same purpose as the 10-stop, but it is better suited for sunset and sunrise. When the sun is close to setting or rising, a 10-stop ND will require a very long shutterspeed at f\/11-16 and ISO100 to produce the correct exposure - often as much as 5-10 minutes. A 6-stop ND is thus much more suited for capturing long exposures of 30-60s around sunset and sunrise. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10-Stop | 3.0\u003c\/strong\u003e - This filter is used primarily for blurring the sea to a flat mist and for blurring clouds into abstract lines. It can also be used to remove traffic and people from urban scenes by blurring the moving elements. At f\/11-16 and ISO100, it usually produces a shutterspeed of 20-30s in early morning or late afternoon with strong sunlight. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15-Stop | 4.5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- This filter is serious long exposure territory and will produce exposures times of 1-4 minutes in peak daylight and 5-30 minutes during golden hour. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\" open=\"\" font-size:=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIR Blocking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- This filter blocks out unwanted Infra-red light that can cause strange colours in undesired areas and rob images of critical shadow-contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\" open=\"\" font-size:=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNano Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- This filter features a super tough scratch-resistant and hydrophobic nano coating that ensures that it lasts for years.

When shooting into a bright sunset\/sunrise, the brightest area is right on the horizon and then the sky darkens towards the top. When using a normal graduated ND, it will result in a correctly exposed horizon, but the top part of the sky will be far too dark. A Reverse Grad also has a clear lower half, but it is darkest in the middle and then gets lighter towards the top. This allows one to more accurately balance those exposures that are brightest on the horizon. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAll the different types of grads are available in different densities, because light is dynamic and different scenes require a different amount of ‘darkening’ of the sky.

As is usually the problem with Homo Sapiens, too many options is not always a good thing, despite the good intentions. In January 2023, NiSi released the UHC UV, which packs all of their latest optical tech into an ultra-thin knurled aluminium frame. This filter is cheaper than 3\/4 of the previous offerings, but offers superior optics to all 4 ranges. The goal is to replace all 4 the previous ranges with this one. The only compromise is the aluminium ring, which is why we will still stock a minimal amount of the HUC UV for those who insist on brass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUV Filters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUV filters eliminate the ultraviolet light, which we cannot see, but affects our images. One of the first issues to take note of is that the light we as humans see and that is critical to our images' colour capture is around 400-750nm. Anything below is considered UV and anything higher is considered IR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost camera's sensors can potentially see a massive spectrum, ranging from 200nm to 900nm, which contains a lot of light that is detrimental to the colour integrity of any photo. For this reason, most cameras have an IR and UV filter that limit the range from around 250nm to 780nm. What remains between this range and the visible range can affect colour, but it is very seldom noticeable in images. It used to be a much bigger problem in the film days when UV filters were considered a must-have accessory. One can't absolutely make the argument that UV filters serve no optical purpose in the digital age, as there are situations in which they do help as they cut out the range between the built-in filter and the visible spectrum; 280-395nm.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheir real purpose lies in something much simpler - as a protective element for the lenses that cost us so much money. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the film days, this was a secondary benefit to the filters, but with the advent of digital sensors and built-in UV filters, their secondary property has become their primary purpose.

A lever release clamp makes life a lot easier, but the majority of manufacturers shy away from it for one reason – price. The lever has to be made from a much harder alloy like stainless steel, as aluminium and normal steel bends under the pressure that the lever is subjected to.

A lever release clamp makes life a lot easier, but the majority of manufacturers shy away from it for one reason – price. The lever has to be made from a much harder alloy like stainless steel, as aluminium and normal steel bends under the pressure that the lever is subjected to. Similarly, the flex provided to the hinge of the lever has to be from a brass bushing as rubber simply doesn’t last.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA lever release clamp is an absolute pleasure to use, but it costs an average 25% more.

Following the success of larger systematic style column-less tripods, more and more photographers are waking up to the fact that a center-column is a major compromise in tripod functionality.

Removing the center-column also makes it lighter and cheaper, while improving rigidity as there are less interconnecting parts between the legs and the camera. The only major compromise is the lack of extra height that a center-column affords. Until recently, this has posed a major issue, but the latest precision carbon tubing and joint technology means that today’s 5-section tripods are as rigid as yesterday’s 4-section tripods.

Below the apex is another UNC ¼” mounting hole for attaching a weight hook – such a hook and carabiner are included with all Ranger tripods.

Leofoto’s engineers have gone to great lengths to make the ultimate tripod foot and the result is an internal aluminium frame that minimizes the amount of flexible rubber in the construction. While this is a tiny detail, it adds to the rigidity of the tripod. All Leofoto ranges’ feet feature a multi-angled bevel, which helps it to grip on uneven terrain.

Normal heads allow compositional adjustments by allowing rotation of the camera, with the center of the ball as the rotation point. As the radius between the rotation point and camera is quite big, when changing composition, the point of view changes drastically. For those obsessed with perfect composition, this is unacceptable. With centered heads, the camera moves in an arc, which if completed, would make a virtual circle around the camera, the center point of which should be the focal plane of the image, meaning that your point of view remains identical regardless of how you change the composition. In short – with a normal ball head, the camera moves around the head. With centered heads, the head moves around the camera. The downside of centered heads is that in order to provide a large movement range, the head has to be massive, so a compact centered head like the G2 will have a limited range of movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 360g and 60mm diameter by 60mm height, it is as compact and travel friendly as geared heads can be. Finely geared X- and Y- axes offer precise geared adjustment of your composition, but in a limited range of 10 degrees up or down on each axis. By combing the two axes, a range of about 15 degrees is achievable, which is sufficient for most uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePanoramic Use – A panning axis at the top allows panoramas with a central horizon. Doing panoramas with an off-center horizon requires another panoramic axis below the head, which can be added by mounting the G2 on the RH-2L panning clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairing with Ranger Leveling Legs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe G2 paired with one of the Ranger CEX leveling legs and a panning clamp is an unlikely combination, but it is arguably the ultimate traveling panoramic setup.
