Brand new member to the forum (filled in the welcome post) so here is my first question.
Just recently bought my first 10 stop ND and I have found a strange result. Setting the camera to aperture priority, the metering recommended around 20 second exposure, but the result was under exposed, despite the camera probably tried upping the ISO. I then removed the filter and took a standard reading using the same aperture, changed to manual and bulb, calculated the exposure as around 2 minutes, and got a perfect photo.
So am I right in assuming the meter can be fooled by ND filters? It's a Nikon D7100 so presumably a decent metering system.
Further to that, I will also be using a 3 stop 0.9 ND. Is this OK with metering or should this also be done manually with a quick calculation?
Thanks for any advice.
