Some people on NPN ask me why I use a 5-stop solid ND on so many of my photos along with my normal grad and polarizer - here is the reason why - hope my TTT technique might be useful for others. Darwin

Thanks Darwin. I've been experimenting with my 4 stop ND filter recently and for the most part I like the results. I like how it smooths out water and add motion to the sky.

Ah, Darwin, this is good stuff. BTW, I've enjoyed reading your articles in the Outdoor Photographer Canada (hope I have the right name?). Good stuff there, too!

Thanks Darwin

I made one of my favorite pictures using a polarizer, 2-stop GND, and 3-stop ND, but I haven't used the combination regularly. Now I'll be sure to use it more often .

Thanks Darwin, really great info. You said you use cable release. Do you also use mirror lock up? Now I want to try the TTT :biggrin:
