i will be going to the subway in zion, in late march and i was wondering what kind of ND filter I would need. would a polarizer be enough to get slower shutter speed?
i'm guessing i would be at the subway around noon. i don't know how bright/dark it is at the subway so i have no clue. should i take 4, 6 or 8 stop nd filter?
if you've been to the subway in march or spring time please chime in.
thanks in advance.
The subway is very dark. You definitely won't need an ND, unless you're looking to get several minute long exposures. At 100 ISO, f/13 around noon, you'll probably be looking at ~30 second exposures if you properly expose to the right. You'll get nice swirls in the pools at that point.

wow really? i've always thought the subway was well lit. i guess all those pics of zion in the forum with long exposures made me think that way. i rather not use any filters so that's a good news.
thanks for the info.
