And most people use them to calm down a blownout sky but they do a lot more than just this.  ND filter will give a subtle color adjustment to your images. In a perfect world, an ND filter would stop all lightwaves equally but in practice they do not work in such a perfect way. I like to compare it to putting on sunglasses. ND filters do more than just calm down a bright sky, you can do things like remove people completely from a busy street or smear out a waterfall or ocean waves. None of which can be done with shutter speed adjustments. It's a handy thing to have in your camera bag.</p></blockquote><p></p>
