In this article, let’s see how to achieve long exposure during daytime
to create dreamlike landscape images. Basically, we need to cut down
the amount of available light which is done by using Neutral Density
Filters (ND Filters). A Neutral Density Filter is simply a high quality
piece of glass that reduces the amount of light reaching camera sensor.
“Neutral” means that it should not shift the colors while cutting down
the light.
