Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra 100x100mm Neutral Density 3.0 (10 Stops)
Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra 100x100mm Neutral Density 3.0 (10 Stops) | Long daylight exposures with ten stops of light reduction
Turn a bright scene into a long exposure, with moving water softened and clouds given time to travel across the frame. The Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra 100x100mm Neutral Density 3.0 is a square neutral-density filter that reduces the light reaching your camera by 10 stops. It suits photographers who want to use a slower shutter speed in daylight, especially for landscapes and scenes with movement. The fixed, strong reduction is particularly useful when a modest shutter-speed change won’t create the effect you’re after. Set your exposure without the filter, then account for the ten-stop reduction when choosing your shutter speed. That makes it easier to plan a long exposure while keeping your chosen aperture. It’s a specialised strength rather than an all-purpose density: for a small adjustment to exposure, ten stops may be more than you need.
Specialist Note
This 10-stop filter gives you a long exposure in daylight without relying on an extremely small aperture. For a waterfall, meter without the filter first: a shutter speed of 1/30 sec becomes roughly 34 seconds after ten stops, enough to turn the moving water into a smooth flow. The 100x100mm square format is a practical size to work with when you’re composing a landscape and need to position a square filter in front of the lens. I’d recommend it to landscape photographers who specifically want pronounced motion blur. One thing to bear in mind: its fixed ND 3.0 strength is a big reduction, so it can be excessive when you only want a slightly slower shutter speed.
