Kit that I use - Part 1

Hi guys, as I decided that my project is gonna be on Long Exposure I realised that I need a kit to be able to take long exposure pictures during day light. This is why I bought some Neutral Density filters along with cpl filter and a remote for the shutter.

I bought them from amazon you can see them here:









I had to buy an individual neutral density filter of 10 stops because I couldn't find it in any pack and this one is the most important one.

Now, if you don't know what filters are exactly and what to do I found a nice example. Also, I think the simplest definition of them is that they are like sunglasses for your lenses. 

For example, one might wish to photograph a waterfall at a slow shutter speed to create a deliberate motion-blur effect. The photographer might determine that to obtain the desired effect, a shutter speed of ten seconds was needed. On a very bright day, there might be so much light that even at minimal film speed and a minimal aperture, the ten-second shutter speed would let in too much light, and the photo would be overexposed. In this situation, applying an appropriate neutral-density filter is the equivalent of stopping down one or more additional stops, allowing the slower shutter speed and the desired motion-blur effect.
