This allows you to blur movement or decrease depth of field, normally impossible in the bright harsh light of day. It can restrict the amount of light entering the camera allowing you more choice in your preferred settings. Now you are able to shoot with longer exposure times or wider apertures under bright conditions. A Variable ND differs from a normal ND filter in that you can control the amount of light reduction simply by rotating the filter. A Variable Neutral Density Filter is like a pair of sunglasses for your lens. A pair of sunglasses that you can adjust like a volume knob to control the amount of light they let through. Cameras have three ways to control exposure, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. This filter effectively becomes a fourth control tool to manipulate light exposure. It controls the amount of light that enters your lens by opposing two polarised filters. Rotating one creates a darkening effect, which ranges in influence from 1 to 8 f-stops of light reduction. By reducing the amount of light entering the lens and sensor, a photographer can create several awesome visual image effects. These effects would not be possible in bright light conditions without a variable ND. Simply adding the filter to the lens gains you your first f-stop reduction of light. If you have ever visited a beach, desert or salt flats you will know how much you appreciated having sunglasses with you. Under those extreme lighting conditions you camera sits with all its exposure controlling settings topped out. The amount of artistic control you can take becomes limited by the restriction of all values being maxed. Adding dialable sunglasses to your camera reopens creative possibilities. Slow your Shutter and Extend your Exposure times Reducing the amount of light with a Variable ND filter allows you to increase the shutter duration. Slow shutter speeds create a motion blur effect. With this motion blur effect, you can perfectly contrast the static and moving subjects in your images. Static elements remain frozen, whilst moving elements become blurred. Motion blur is the perfect way to highlight dynamic elements in your shots. This leaves you with endless creative possibilities when photographing scenes with isolated moving elements. Using the K&F Variable ND Filter is very easy. Simply match up the threads on your lens with the threads of the filter and screw together. You will find that the textured surface really adds a lot of grip. The density of the filter effect is adjusted by rotating the outer frame. Rotate the frame one direction to reduce the amount of light entering your lens, rotate it back the other way to let more pass through and reduce the darkening effect. As Variable ND filters are constructed from two opposed polarised filters, rotating the filter beyond its maximum range could produce a cross effect. The last dot represents the point at which an X could begin to form over your image and you should back off a little. Similarly, the combination of polarisers can shift colours from being neutral. Screwing this variable ND filter on the front of your lens will help you manipulate and control the amount of light that enters your lens and sensor. With the K&F Variable ND Filter in front of your lens, you have a world of creative possibilities at your fingertips.
