Think of an ND filter as sunglasses for your camera. 😎

On a bright day, there’s often too much light coming into your lens. An ND (neutral density) filter cuts that light down without changing the colours in your shot.
Why does that matter? It lets you keep a wide aperture for that soft, blurry background and keep your shutter speed at the 180° rule for natural-looking motion, even in full sun.

Save this for your next outdoor shoot. 📌

Every scene needs three shots: wide, medium, and tight. 🎬
The wide shot sets the location and shows where everyone is. The medium shot brings us into the action and body language. The tight shot captures the details and emotion that make the moment land.
Cover all three and you’ll never be stuck in the edit wondering how to cut a scene together. Your editor will thank you.
Save this for your next shoot. 📌
