Reddit reviews NEEWER 52mm ND Fader Neutral Density Adjustable Variable Filter (ND2 to ND400)

Sure!

Don't show the sky, any natural lighting will help sell the illusion.
You'll want to get yourself some ND filters, either cheap Like THESE

Or a variable screw on filter Like this

These will help you achieve a darker image, while allowing you to using whatever lens stop (within reason) you wish. Shooting in day in the forest is already going to be a bit darker than out in the open, but you should still be able to shoot close to wide open if you want.

Also, try to avoid showing glowing bright sun crashing through the trees onto the floor. Moonlight can do that, but doesn't always look the same.

Finally, if you want a "blue" look, you could white balance your camera to a yellow card which will shift it blueish. Or just shoot at 3200K or lower and it'll be fine.

Hope that helps.

Im new to the game as well, but so far these are the things I have picked up for my G6:

first, i bought a G6 kit that came with some handy stuff

I have also purchased

A slightly better tripod

A flood light

Battery pack for said light

Variable ND Fader for filming out doors

Rode shotgun Mic

Zoom H1

Lav mic to go with the H1

Headphones to listen for levels

Triple Mount Hot Shoe

Backpack to hold everything

This is just a fun lens, and its cheap the 50mm means its a 100mm equivelent, so its for really tight portraits, but the low aperture is good for low/light and for a very shallow field depth. When I am able to use it, this lens produces the most popular results when i post them online.

new strap cause the one that comes with the G6 sucks!

What i want to get:

A bigger zoom lens I am mostly interested in videography(weddings etc), and this would be good for back of the house shots)

The M 3/4's "nifty fifty"

I have just one more question, can you recommend me an ND filter for my Nikon D3300 with regular 18-55mm kit lens? I have no idea which mm length lens I should get because they come in various sizes or the differences between some ND filters. I saw this and this on Amazon. Like what's the difference between ND2 and ND4?

I'm glad you asked, yes, I used a variable ND fader by Neewer. This photo was shot at F/16 with the fader cranked pretty far dark and you can see in the photo that it is very sharp. This was using my $100 Canon 50mm F/1.8 at F/16 so diffraction was in play, with a cheap Tiffen filter on it and an even cheaper ND fader and it turned out very very sharp. I would highly recommend the Neewer variable ND to anyone in need of an ND filter. I got mine for $5 on Amazon with free shipping because of prime, you can also see other photos I've taken with it linked to the Amazon page.

You might consider getting a continuous ring light such as this one.
A ring light is a easy, portable light that will allow you to get the shot, which wouldn't be possible without it.
In general, investing in lighting is never a bad idea. Simply learning how to use the lighting is always a lot of fun.

Also, you can get a variable ND Filter, which is also helpful for both video and stills.
