Formatt Hitech 100x100mm (4x4) ND 2.7 (9stops)
Formatt Hitech 100x100mm (4x4) ND 2.7 (9stops) | Long exposures in bright light
Bright daylight can make it hard to use a slow shutter speed: the scene gets too much light before you can create the motion effect you want. This Formatt Hitech neutral density filter is made for that situation. Its square 100 × 100 mm (4 × 4) format gives you a defined filter area, while its ND 2.7 rating identifies it as a strong light-reducing filter. It suits photographers who want to blur moving water, soften the movement of clouds, or make people moving through a scene less prominent in a long exposure. It’s also useful when you want to work with a slower shutter speed in bright conditions. The payoff is creative control over motion; the trade-off is that a long exposure calls for a steady camera and careful exposure planning.
Exposure example
A nine-stop reduction gives you room to extend the shutter time substantially. As a simple guide, a scene metered at 1/125 sec without the filter would call for roughly 4 seconds with nine stops of reduction, keeping aperture and ISO unchanged. That’s a practical starting point for giving flowing water a smoother appearance. Treat the result as a guide, then adjust for the scene and the look you want.
Specialist Note
The crisp square outline of this 100 × 100 mm filter gives you a clear area to position across the image, rather than a small circular piece of glass. I’d point it toward landscape photographers planning deliberate long exposures, especially with moving water or cloud. The ND 2.7 rating means nine stops less light, so a shutter time that begins at 1/125 sec can become about 4 seconds without changing aperture or ISO. That’s enough to render motion as a visible blur in many scenes. It’s a strong reduction, so it works best when you’ve already settled on your composition and exposure approach.
