Its ND 3 strength reduces light by 10 stops, making it useful when you want a much longer exposure than the available light would normally allow. That’s particularly helpful for smoothing moving water or recording cloud movement in daylight, when a short shutter speed would otherwise freeze the scene. It can also let you use a wider aperture in bright conditions, without relying on a faster shutter speed to control exposure. This neutral-density filter suits photographers who want deliberate motion blur or more control over exposure in strong light. The effect is substantial, so it’s best approached with a clear exposure plan: the filter changes the amount of light reaching the camera by a full ten stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the 10-stop reduction is accounted for, you can work towards shutter times that would be impractical without the filter in daylight. For example, a scene that meters at 1\/30 sec without it would need roughly 30 seconds with this ND 3 filter, which can turn flowing water into a smooth blur. The 72 mm diameter is useful when your lens takes that filter size, so it’s worth matching the size before planning a setup. I’d suggest it to photographers who want long exposures in bright conditions, especially for water or moving clouds. One honest consideration: ten stops is a strong reduction, so it’s less suited to situations where you need to keep shutter speeds fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Formatt Hitech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Firecrest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter diameter: 72 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eND rating: ND 3 (10 stops)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Formatt Hitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57563706130772,"sku":"FH-FC72ND3.0","price":81.28,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/nl\/products\/formatt-hitech-firecrest-nd-72mm-nd-3-10stops-filter","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
