Help to choose Natural Density filter for Nikkor 18-108

[rmstudios]

Hello dear friends. I am to purchase ND filter for water photography on regular basis with my 18-108mm Nikkor lens. I never used one and not sure which one to buy Tiffen 67mm Neutral Density 0.6 or 0.9 ??? Please help if you have used it in the past. Thanks.

A 0.6 and 0.9 are only going to give you a 2- and 3-stop difference in exposure. Most likely, not enough for creating silky-smooth water shots in broad daylight, unless you're 'just not quite there' in your results.

If you can afford it, you may want to look into a Variable Neutral Density filter.

Help to choose Natural Density filter for Nikkor 18-108

It's neutral density, not natural. The idea being that it's color neutral and won't add any color to the image.

The important thing is that you buy the right size for your lens. (the diameter of the filter threads).

As for which strength of ND filter...that isn't really something we can answer for you. A darker filter will block more light, allowing you to use a longer shutter speed. That's all there is to it. But of course, we don't know what situations you'll be shooting in. If it's really bright, then you'll probably want a darker filter. If it's not so bright, then you may not need such a dark filter.

I like my polarizer filter on my Nikkor 24-70 lens shooting at or near water. If you have one maybe pop it on and try, it'll reduce a little light too.
