I Am Shooting With A , ND Filter



With this ND filiter it say's boost it up plus 2. So lets say my meater is reading f 11 .Oh I am working with a Cannon EOS-3 . Now do I push the botton next to the shutter botton and bring it to a plus two also ? now as I read with the water thing .Lets say I bring it down just for the waterfall picture to um f4 ,would that make the overall shot a f2 @ 100 ? Hope that made sence .

  You can meter with the filter on. Your camera will compensate for the two-stop difference.

If your reading is f-11 without the filter, you would need f-5.6 with the same shutter speed.
You would probably be better off changing the shutter two stops (slower) instead for your waterfall...especially if you are trying to show motion.
