If you want to shoot a fast lens wide open for the small depth of field, but are shooting in bright light. You can use an ND filter to reduce the shutter speed to a value the camera can manage. For example bright sunlight at f2 could need a 1/4000 or above shutter speed. Also useful for moving water that you want to blur and have a small depth of field, that's where the tripod and long exposures can be useful.
