B+W 110 ND Filter

The B+W 110 ND cuts out an amazing 10 stops of light, far more than usual, meaning it can turn a 1/60sec shutter speed into 16secs!

A Neutral Density (ND) filter like this B&W 110 ND is often needed if you want to experiment with long exposures, reducing the amount of light that passes through the lens to the sensor and allowing you to use slower shutter speeds in your shots. This slowing down of the shutter lets you capture the motion of flowing water or clouds as a blur as it moves through your frame and makes for some very creative pics.
Using the B+W 110 N is quite an art – you have to compose and focus shots before adding the filter, as once it’s on you can barely see anything through the viewfinder (With some cameras it can be left on if you use with Live View). If you fancy experimenting with really long exposures it's a fabulous tool, allowing you to use slow shutter speeds even in full daylight conditions. Very specific, but good fun!

Seculine Action Level Cross

The Seculine Action Level Cross is a digital levelling device that will attach top any camera with a hotshoe. The Cross design shows both horizontal and vertical level position via 7 colour LEDs for each axis, with the centre light being green to show that the camera is level and the outer lights coloured red to show that the shot is at a slant. A third set of lights across the rear of the Seculine Action Level Cross makes is easy to determine the cameras horizontal level when using the viewfinder. These LEDs make the Seculine Action Level Cross a real advantage in low light conditions or anywhere a regular bubble-type level would be difficult to read.
