I visit As Catedrais beach, arguably the most beautiful beach in Galicia, to try out a new set of ND filters that the people at Kase were kind enough to send me after I destroyed mine back in Scotland. I am after an image I'd been wanting to make for a very long time, but never could. Until now.

After losing and breaking my old ND filters, and a few weeks of shooting with welding glass, I finally got a new set of filters. And of course, I went to Lake Michigan to try them out.
Cheap long exposure photography using welding glass
When life gives you welding glass, you take long exposures! After breaking my last ND filter, I headed to a hardware store to purchase another kind of dark glass, one that I use when I was getting started with long exposure photography years ago. And you know what? It's even better than I remembered. A totally viable option for low budget long exposure photography.
My ND filter collection
I use ND filters almost on a daily basis, both for my photo and video work. My collection has grown over the years, so in this video I show you which ND filters I have, why and how I use them.

Best 5 accessories for RX100 cameras
You know how much I love my small RX100 cameras. I always carry one with me no matter what I'm doing, and that has led me to making some images I would've never made otherwise, including the current image of the month, "Golden Gate".
I love that these cameras are complete systems out of the box: no lenses to buy! There are some accessories, though, that I think are very useful and make these little devices even better image making machines. These are the 5+1 accessories for the RX100 series I have and use.
