Neutral Density Filters - What Are They? Do I Need One?
Send us a text Neutral density filters attach to camera lenses and reduce the amount of light getting through to your camera sensor without affecting the colours (hopefully).

The focal length you use will also determine the depth of field, or as I like to call it, depth of sharpness, that there is in a photo. So, if you want to learn how to use focal length to create better compositions, li...
