NiSi Filters 150mm System Advance Kit: Ideal for Landscape and Seascape Photography

For those who photograph landscapes or seascapes, the NiSi Filters 150mm System Advance Kit Second Generation II is the best advanced kit available. It can be used with any NiSi 150mm holder and is ideal for anyone who wants to take long exposure photos with ND and GND filters. Any NiSi 150mm System holder, including the S5 and Q 150mm systems, is compatible with this kit.

NiSi 150x170mm Nano IR Medium Graduated Neutral Density Filter - ND8 (0.9) - 3 Stop

The 150x170mm Nano IR Medium Graduated Neutral Density Filter - ND8 (0.9) - 3 Stop is a rectangular filter that helps to darken specific areas of an image, such as bright skies while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image. The filter is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a medium-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas. A neutral density filter with a medium-edged line of transition is particularly useful for images that feature buildings, small mountains and other elements that protrude into high into the skyline. The transition zone of a medium is 40% smaller than a Soft GND and is wonderful for shooting at sunrise and sunset.

Nisi 150x170mm Reverse Nano IR Graduated Neutral Density Filter - ND8 (0.9) - 3 Stop

The 100x150mm Reverse Nano IR Graduated Neutral Density filter - ND8 (0.9) - 3 Stop is a rectangular filter that helps to darken specific areas of an image, such as bright skies while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image. Reverse edged GNDs are similar to hard-edged GNDs except that the darkest part of the filter is at the transition point. These filters have a specific use for shooting at the light source where the light is harshest at the horizon and tapers off toward the sky. This type of filter is most appropriate for scenes that have a sudden transition from the foreground to the sky with the brightest part of the scene near the horizon. Most commonly, this would include landscapes with no elements protruding above the horizon such as a seascape looking toward the open ocean. They can be used shooting into the direct light where a sharp transition is needed.

NiSi 150x150mm Nano IR Neutral Density filter - ND64 (1.8) - 6 Stop

The NiSi 150x150mm Nano IR Neutral Density Filter - ND64 (1.8) - 6 Stop is a Neutral Density (ND) filter that uniformly reduces the amount of light entering the lens. ND Filters can enable greater motion blurring and image detail by allowing a large aperture and a slow shutter speed. ND filters are also helpful when the contrast between the highlights and shadows is too high to get a quality exposure. The ND64 6 stops ND filter is generally used during the golden hour to create exposures of 1-2 minutes for smooth water or clouds. A 6 Stop is also great for capturing dynamic water while retaining some texture before the golden hour.

NiSi 150x150mm Nano IR Neutral Density filter - ND1000 (3.0) - 10 Stop

The NiSi 150x150mm Nano IR Neutral Density Filter - ND1000 (3.0) - 10 Stop is a Neutral Density (ND) filter that uniformly reduces the amount of light entering the lens. ND Filters can enable greater motion blurring and image detail by allowing a large aperture and a slow shutter speed. ND filters are also helpful when the contrast between the highlights and shadows is too high to get a quality exposure. The ND1000 10 Stop is used during the day outside of golden hour as the bright ambient light requires much more ‘light blocking’. These can prolong exposures for up to 5 minutes during golden hour with the appropriate settings.

NiSi Caddy 150mm Filter Pouch Pro for 7 Filters and S5 Filter Holder (Holds 7 x 150x150mm or 150x170mm filters + 150mm Holder)

The NiSi Caddy 150mm Filter Pouch Pro for 7 Filters and S5 Filter Holder (Holds 7 x 150x150mm or 150x170mm filters + 150mm Holder) is designed for the NiSi 150mm system filters and will hold 7 x 150x150mm, 150x170mm or S5 Circular Filters plus a 150mm Filter Holder. It features an adjustable cross-body sling strap and can be carried as a shoulder bag, messenger bag or a waist bag. It can be mounted on a tripod for easy access with an included smaller strap for mounting and is designed from a lightweight material that protects your filters from scratches. The pouch can hold up to 7 filters plus a holder and features a flip-top design to keep the pouch open when in use.

NiSi ND filters do not affect the colouration of the image, offer a true to life colour and are made from high-quality optical glass (not resin) with nano coating to prevent losing any single bit of detail. By using neutral density filter the camera is vulnerable to infrared light which will cast the unwanted red colour to the photos when shooting at a small aperture. NiSi ND filters have an infrared protection coating layer to eliminate the infrared light through the lens to bring back the natural true to life colour.

The NiSi Filters 150mm System Starter Kit also represents a great saving than buying all the included items separately.
