I want to take pictures of the ocean and do long exposure with it to get that cool look. Will this help?

Yes, this is exactly what you will need. I bought the set to do something similar with waterfall effects. Of course you will need a tripod. Depending on what kind of camera you have (I use a Nikon D7100) you can switch from full auto to an aperture priority mode and stop the lens down to the smallest f-stop (the highest number, probably around f 22) Use the 4X for maximum effect. You can theoretically stack the filters for even more time of exposure but you will see some image degradation and I wouldn't recommend that.

Hello John,This is exactly what you need. You can also stack the filters for even MORE 'density'. Also try this: (If using photoshop (or another program with "photo Filter" as an adjustment) Go to Image, then Adjustments, and click Photo Filter from the drop down list. In the "Use" box make sure Filter is highlighted. In the drop down click on Cooling Filter 80. Preserve Luminosity box should be checked, and use the Density slider to add (+%) or subtract (-%) how "Cool" (blue) you want your image. This effect will add some slight blue highlights to the "white foam/spray" of the water. Hello John,This is exactly what you need. You can also stack the filters for even MORE 'density'.

yes. The neutral density filters can be combined so you can reduce your shutter speed to get that milky look with the water.Hope that helps.Howard

Yes it will. Have done that exactly this. This is a great, inexpensive product for doing daytime long-exposures. Don't expect perfection but at this low price, it'll do a decent job.

I wouldn't recommend this camera for stills. While it can take them it really isn't designed for it. Unless you have it tripod mounted and you're using a lot of light the pcs aren't going to turn out very good. Also, the Barry Green book is excellent but is very technical and loaded with info that may be beyond your level at the moment. That will make for dry, boring reading, much of which won't pertain to you until you're way down the road. But, I'd still get it if I were you because it's a wonderful resource and it'll help take you to those next levels.

Yes, this Sony Alpha Digital Camera NEX5N do support long exposure. Highest setting for it is Bulb. -Ely

Definitely. I bought this lens with that in mind and is very pleased. It takes wonderful pictures with low light and gives you good control over the focus of the image.

yes to both questions. you can take pictures with long exposure, for example at night time. great macro shot can be taking too. you may have to change some options on the camera depending on the exposure and light of the area. if you have more questions or comments please let me know.

Absolutely! The camera adjusts the exposure according to conditions. If you are taking photos of desserts, I think you will love this camera. A small tri-pod and you will have super sharp, up close photos!

Long exposures with this telescope would be frustratingly difficult. Spend more money and move into the professional series of scopes with massive equatorial mountings and move to a location where light pollution is minimal. Your camera is a good choice, though.

I haven't tried it but I know you need longer exposures and deeper depth of field for astrophotography. I wouldn't use it at it's widest aperture for that kind of photography. Instead I'd stop down and drop my ISO. I'd leave the shutter open as long as possible.

Yes, I would say so. Purchased the camera last year to use on a motorcycle trip to Alaska. I rode in the passenger seat the whole trip, shooting thousands of pictures that turned out great. I used many of the different automatic modes in the camera and was very pleased with the result. Received many compliments on my pictures, especially scenery shots. Hope this helps.

Unlikely with much success. Astrophotography requires a motorized mount for long exposures. I've held my cell phone to my SkyScanner for rudimentary snapshots of the moon and Jupiter (with it's moons), but that was it.

You can take pictures underwater. I have taken quite a few it has worked well for me on those occasions

I don't know, but i don't think so. It was good for me for beach pictures in Cuba last may. But it's another story pointing to the sun. I would google for the right one. Don't know that much to say wich one should be the best.If you want me to send you a test picture write to me to rorofe to gm. Bye

I can't say I'd recommend it but it can be used for some DSO's - a DSLR is better. It has a pretty small field of view since it's meant for planets. If you use a long exposure, you can see Deep Sky objects but you have to have good tracking at that magnification. Having said that I was able to get a decent picture of the Eskimo Nebula. I took a video and stacked the frames with Registax. The image was noisy but cleaned up pretty well in Photoshop.

I have not tried it for that yet, but it does take great pictures in the daytime. I would imagine, if you set your camera to manual shutter speed and stuff, it should do the job.

Yes you can. Just returned from a 2 week vacation on the big island of Hawaii and took some wonderful underwater pictures. Great camera. Is well worth the money.

have used it with success but not with a filter don't know if the camera would fit with a filter on... set your camera on underwater...took a ton of pics with it in Hawaii.

I took mine snorkeling and it worked fine. You have to make sure that the camera is positioned properly, and there is difficulty adjusting the buttons. But I got some great pics with it. Above water, you have to watch out for water drops on the front of the lens case. the camera will try to focus on those.
