ND Filters in Photography
Neutral density filters come in various types, each serving a unique purpose. The most common are solid ND filters. These uniformly reduce the amount of light entering the lens, enabling longer exposure times or wider apertures in bright conditions without affecting color balance.

Modern digital sensors do not suffer from UV sensitivity in the same way. This shift leads to a reassessment of UV filters' utility in contemporary photography.
