ND400 Filter

An ND 400 filter enables you to compose long exposure images during normal daylight.
The image below is a 30 second exposure at f/22 with a Canon EOS 5DS R using a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Lens and ND400 lens. Daylight shots like this are also enhanced by using a circular polarizer as well. In this case it really separates the clouds from the sky and gives the sky a deeper color.

                                                

Photographing Fast Moving Objects



How to photograph fast moving objects

The best way to photograph fast moving objects is to line them up down range and track them (follow with your camera) as they come towards you. Ideally you want to shoot manual with a shallow depth of field at a fast time (i.e. 1/250 or faster)

As you can see below, I have attached images I took of a Navy Blue Angels Show. These were shot at f/5.6 at 1/250 with a burst of 5 shots per second using a Canon 5D Mark III with a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens set at 200mm.
