The NiSi S6 PRO Filters for S6 150mm Holder is designed for use with a NiSi S6 150mm filter holder system. It can screw into a NiSi S5 150mm filter holder adapter ring after the kit’s included Pro Screw-In Circular Polarizer Filter has been removed.
Please note if using this with an older generation S5 adaptor, the S6 holder frame must be used in combination.
UV Filter
This filter absorbs ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. Aside from the reduction of unwanted blue casts, no additional coloration or contrast is created, and adjustments to exposure are not required while using this filter.
When the NiSi S6 PRO NC UV for S6 150mm Holder is used, 50% of ultraviolet light waves are absorbed at 395 nanometers, before which they are progressively eliminated, helping to limit the light that enters a camera to the visible spectrum. The appearance of blue casts that can occur while recording video or still photos under daylight that also features ultraviolet light is reduced, preserving color accuracy throughout the frame.
The NiSi S6 PRO NC UV for S6 150mm Holder filter is constructed from optical glass for increased clarity as well as color fidelity while providing approximately 98.5% transmission of visible light. Our proprietary NiSi Pro Nano Coating helps to reduce unwanted reflections and provides a waterproof and scratch-resistant layer to assist in the cleaning of unwanted fingerprints, dust, and water stains.
True Colour CPL
When screwed into a NiSi S6 150mm filter holder adapter ring, it can help to reduce glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces, increase saturation and vibrancy in the sky and foliage while ensuring true color reproduction is at its best by eliminating the warming effect that many polarisers create. Our True Color CPL removes the warm tone seen with other brands of CPL filters and provides a closer true color representation of the scene.
A Circular Polarizer Filter helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. The light from the sun naturally becomes partially polarized due to reflecting off electrons in air molecules, causing the light to scatter into what appears as haze. A polarizing filter arranges, and filters, this directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies, foliage, and allows the camera to capture what is under the surface of shallow water.
3-Stop ND
This filter is used to add a slight blur to water before the sun has set or after it has risen. 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.
6-Stop ND and CPL
The NiSi S6 PRO Circular IR ND64+CPL (1.8) 6 Stop for S6 150mm Holder is designed for use with a NiSi S6 150mm filter holder system. It can screw into a NiSi S6 adapter ring after the kit’s included Pro Screw-In Circular Polarizer Filter has been removed. When in use, this filter provides a 6-stop exposure reduction. Its 1.8 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. ND filters are also helpful when the contrast between the highlights and shadows is too high to get a quality exposure. The ND64 6 stops ND filter is generally used during the golden hour to create exposures of 1-2 minutes for smooth water or clouds. A 6 Stop is also great for capturing dynamic water while retaining some texture before the golden hour.
Simultaneously, this filter can help to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. The light from the sun naturally becomes partially polarized due to reflecting off electrons in air molecules, causing the light to scatter into what appears as haze. A polarizing filter arranges, and filters, this directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage.
10-Stop ND
The NiSi S6 PRO Circular IR ND1000 (3.0) 10 Stop for S6 150mm Holder is designed for use with a NiSi S6 150mm filter holder system. It can screw into a NiSi S6 150mm filter holder adapter ring after the kit’s included Pro Screw-In Circular Polarizer Filter has been removed. When in use, this ND provides a 10-stop exposure reduction. Its 3.0 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. ND filters are also helpful when the contrast between the highlights and shadows is too high to get a quality exposure. The ND1000 10 Stop is used during the day outside of golden hour as the bright ambient light requires much more ‘light blocking’. These can prolong exposures for up to 5 minutes during golden hour with the appropriate settings.
15-Stop ND
The NiSi S6 PRO Circular IR ND32000 (4.5) 15 Stop for S6 150mm Holder is designed for use with a NiSi S6 150mm filter holder system. It can screw into a NiSi S6 150mm filter holder adapter ring after the kit’s included Pro Screw-In Circular Polarizer Filter has been removed. When in use, this ND provides a 15-stop exposure reduction. Its 4.5 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. ND filters are also helpful when the contrast between the highlights and shadows is too high to get a quality exposure. The ND32000 (15 Stop) is widely used to capture extreme long exposure images (usually 3-6 mins in daylight), to create effects like cloud movement or cloud softening.
More about NiSi ND Filters
NiSi ND filters do not affect the coloration of the image, offer a true to life color, and are made from high-quality optical glass (not resin) with nano coating to prevent losing any single bit of detail. By using a neutral density filter the camera is vulnerable to infrared light which will cast the unwanted red color to the photos when shooting at a small aperture. NiSi ND filters have an infrared protection coating layer to eliminate the infrared light through the lens to bring back the natural true to life color.
Our proprietary NiSi Pro Nano Coating helps to reduce unwanted reflections and provides a waterproof and scratch-resistant layer to assist in the cleaning of unwanted fingerprints, dust, and water stains.
