[QUOTE="John Braden, post: 510294, member: 24488"] Hello once again and thank you to those who have helped me with prior questions. I'm trying to outfit my camera for my next trip and would like advice on ND filters. I just recently purchased a Hoya 77mm HD hardened glass 8-layer Multi-coated CPL filter for when I go on my excursions into the gorges and streams of rural northern Japan. I have an idea of what it can do to remove reflection on greenery. I'll also try to use it to "make the skies more blue" but my main reason was for the "pow" factor in indirect sunlight. I also wish to experiment with long exposure photography along the rocky shorelines and this is where I'm asking for help. Will my CPL be enough to reduce the light input to be able to capture those long-exposure (up to 15 minutes or more) shots of the clouds and waves or should I invest in a Neutral Density filter? I was looking at the Hoya 77mm HMC ND8 Multi-coated ND filter. It's not very pricey at $42. Would that filter do the trick? Does it sound like a decent filter? Would I be able to "stack" them for added light filtering? I appreciate any advice you can give me! I will be using a D7200 with a Nikkor 28-300 f/3.5-5.6. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
