LEE Filters Big Stopper ND 10 Stop Filter for SW150

The LEE Filters Big Stopper is a game-changing tool for photographers who want to add creative impact to their images. This ND (Neutral Density) 10-stop filter for the SW150 system allows you to dramatically extend exposure times, creating ethereal effects and unique visual dynamics. Perfect for landscape, seascape, and even urban photography, the Big Stopper helps you craft images with a distinct, professional quality.

Key Features

  • 10-Stop Light Reduction:
    Significantly slows your shutter speed to create stunning long-exposure effects, such as silky water, streaky clouds, and motion blur in traffic or crowds.

  • Creative Versatility:

    • Ideal for a variety of scenarios, from calming seascapes to busy cityscapes.
    • Works beautifully to blur moving subjects, adding a surreal or ghost-like quality to your images.
  • Compatible with the SW150 System:
    Designed to fit seamlessly into the LEE Filters SW150 filter holder, making it easy to incorporate into your workflow.

  • Use with Other Filters:
    Can be combined with other LEE filters, such as Neutral Density Graduated Filters, to balance exposure and add depth to your shots.

How to Use the Big Stopper

  1. Compose Your Shot:
    Set up your composition and frame the scene before attaching the filter.

  2. Meter Your Exposure:
    Take a meter reading without the filter in place, setting your desired aperture and shutter speed.

  3. Adjust for the Big Stopper:
    Multiply your exposure time by a factor of ten.

    • Example 1: A meter reading of 1/125 sec at f/11 becomes 8 seconds at f/11.
    • Example 2: A meter reading of 2 seconds at f/11 becomes 32 minutes with the filter.
  4. Insert the Big Stopper:
    Place the Big Stopper in the slot nearest the lens, then attach the filter holder securely.

  5. Make the Exposure:
    Use a sturdy tripod and ensure your camera is stable to prevent movement during the long exposure. Cover the viewfinder to avoid light leaks and flare.

Pro Tips

  • Always use a remote release or self-timer to minimise camera shake.
  • Check your stability: A strong tripod is essential for sharp, long-exposure images.
  • Experiment with combining the Big Stopper and ND Graduated Filters for stunningly balanced exposures.
