ND Basics
Neutral: meaning there’s no effect on the color of your image + Density: the intensity of the reduction in exposure = Neutral Density. For an excellent explanation of ND filters, including a handy chart listing ND densities, read this Guide to Neutral Density Filters (for still photography), by Todd Vorenkamp. Cinematographers refer to NDs by their Optical Density Number, still photographers more often use the Filter Factor Number. For video or cine-style use, ND 0.3, ND 0.6, ND 0.9, ND 1.2 (in common parlance, “ND3, ND6, ND9, ND 12”) are the most popular, offering corresponding 1, 2, 3, and 4-stop reductions in your exposure.
