I've spent a lot of time watching YouTube explanations of ND filters and I still don't get it.
I understand using long exposures for effects like smoothing water. But for general purpose aerial shots, why do you use a filter to reduce light, then lengthen shutter speed? Why not just use a fast shutter speed to reduce exposure?
People keep saying "for a more cinematic look" but I can't see any difference in their side-to-side videos with and without filters.
Can someone direct me to a resource that explains this topic?
