What? A 16-Stop ND Filter?!?

Do you want to smooth a waterfall to get that silky flowing look or smooth the waves on a lake to make it look like glass? You'll be able to do it with a 16-stop neutral density Filter -- but is the one I demo in this video any good? In this video, I test it out to see.

Here is the ND filter, how-to video that I mentioned in this video: https://youtu.be/mlL7bqg0OxY

Make sure you get the correct size to fit your lens -- they also have them in several different square sizes but they cost considerably more.
