My dad got me a ND400 filter for Christmas. I can't wait to use it. I think some of you on here have one of these, or something similar?
I remember reading that since the filter is so dark (it's almost completely blacked out) that you have to focus the camera AND THEN put it on the lens? How do you screw it on the lens without taking it out of focus? Is this a stupid question? I haven't even had time to open the packaging yet, but this has been on my mind.
We're going to DTD for a weekend, in a few weeks (meeting some friends from Wales) and will be hanging there and around the BW and I'd really like to put this to some use.
Thanks for any tips that you may have!!
Also, if anyone wants to share pictures that you've taken with this filter, I'd LOVE to see them!!!
