Recreating Golden Hour Question:
1.) when is the right time to use the ND filter and when to avoid using it on recreating Golden hour?
2.) When you focus your camera do you have the ND Filter already infront of the lens? wouldn’t that make it hard for the camera to focus?
3.) If you use the flash to backlit the subject, do you still put a flash infront of the subject?
thanks for the help guys!
Mind boggling! Wow!
