LEE Filters Seven5 75x90 Little Stopper 6-Stop ND
The Little Stopper
The Little Stopper is a neutral density filter that reduces the light entering your lens by six stops.
The Little Stopper is ideal for those low-light conditions at the beginning and end of the day (when the Big Stopper’s ten stops may prove too much), allowing you to enjoy increased flexibility with exposure lengths.
In many shooting conditions the Little Stopper will retain detail and texture in areas of movement such as the sky and water, while still conveying a sense of time passing.

Professional hints:White balance
Use of Stopper filters may result in a slight colour cast. This is easily corrected in post-production, usually with a simple click of the auto white balance button..
Alternatively using auto white balance in the camera may help, but it is always best to do some tests.
Shooting tips
When making long exposures always use the sturdiest tripod you can, and take care not to knock the camera or tripod. If possible use a cable release or remote shutter release.
Cover your viewfinder before releasing the shutter to avoid light encroaching onto the sensor or film and causing flare.
