ND Filter and White Balance

White Balance

It's ALWAYS better to have the correct white balance IN camera than attempting to fix it in post!!

Neutral Density (ND) Filter
"A pair of sunglasses" meaning it won't effect the colors
Let's say I want a shallow depth of field but the image is still over exposed. Because if you close down the iris..the depth of field expands so everyone is now in focus (not what we want)

So ND filter is great for lowering light sources while maintaining the f2 look (shallow depth).

Dark objects flickering? well, you've messed up your shutter speed.
