Yesterday I posted this photograph so if you’d like to find out the exact details about it go to yesterday’s post.
I created this video to show you how and when to use your visualize spots tool. This is a very important tool when it comes to removing sensor spots. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to clean your sensor often and if you can’t do it yourself or take it in this is when this tool comes in really handy.
When I see people’s photos and they are really really nice but they have sensor spots it takes all the goodness away from a beautiful photo. It is important that when you spend so much time editing a photo you finish it off my cleaning all the sensor spots. A trained eye will always see these sensors spots first and immediately be turned off.

I love my Pelican Case, but I wanted to make sure it worked as intended so I put it to the test. Lots of people told me not to do it but I had to test it out.
What is an ND filter? What is it for? How do you use it?
ND or Neutral Density filters are dark filters and are designed to reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor of your camera in order to increase exposure times, without affecting the color of the image.
There are many different manufacturers, and if you decide to get one, make sure you don’t get a cheap one. This filters usually start from light and go to really dark. They reduce your F-stop by 1 stop, 2 stops, etc. etc.
I like to use a 10 stop filter. This is a very dark filter, it reduces light by ten stops. You have to set up your shot before you attach your filter. Here is a video I made on how to use these filters.
This is the filter I use for all my daytime long exposures. 77mm 3.0 ND MRC 110M Filter, Every photo here has been shot with this exact filter, and I could not be happier.
Long Exposures Using ND Filters
So when do you use these filters? I like to use them when the weather is crazy, usually when the clouds are visibly moving really fast and the colors are vibrant. During sunrise and right after sunset is usually a good time.
You can use these filters in the day time that’s how you get the crazy movement of the clouds. Below are a few examples of how I use these filters. All these photos are shot in bulb mode and are from 1-3 minute exposures.
In this video I will show you how to bring out the shadows on your under exposed photographs, I will also cover graduated filters and show you how to make your photos pop with a few simple sliders in Lightroom 5.
