Introduction to Neutral Density Filters- LIVE w/Brian Leary

Have you ever wondered how stunning landscape photos are created in extreme light? By using different filters in front of the camera, you can control the light entering your camera, therefore having an amazing effect on the final image, with little to no post processing.

In this class, you will get an introduction to using Solid, Variable and Graduated Neutral Density (ND) filters. The first part of this class will walk you through the different types of filters useful in photography today, while the last half of the class will cover techniques in using Graduated ND filters to create dramatic landscape images.

This class will cover:

• Explanation of neutral density powers (8x, 64x, etc.)
• Type of filters and filter holders.
• Techniques for long exposures and wide apertures on bright sunny days.
• Balancing exposures in-camera with Graduated ND filters.

About your instructor:

Brian Leary was initially exposed to photography while spending time with his father in a color darkroom, and began developing his own photographic interests when he moved to the Pacific Northwest as an adult. Brian has pursued his unique style and talent for photography over the past twenty-plus years in the industry. Today, he still uses the same methods with digital photography that he would have on film.
What sets Brian apart is not only his work as a photographer but his passion to share his knowledge of the art form with others. He has a unique talent for breaking down complex subjects and communicating techniques that not only make sense, but stick in practice! Brian Leary founded Light Source Journeys in 2023 and now runs individualized tutoring workshop sessions that address each photographer’s specific needs and pain points. Brian focuses one-on-one attention so that his clients learn specific abilities to turn their photography aspirations into a reality. He is the kind of instructor you want to work with: a teacher who loves watching people light up when they get a great shot; especially when it’s a shot they didn’t think they could capture.
