Does it work with reducing the brightness of the street lights or sportlights? let's say shooting landscape of the marina bay sand from far?

one eye jack said:Hi,For calibrating the camera's metering system for accurate white balance or colour.If factory setting
is not to your liking or expectation.Note that even with another same brand or model there is a small difference
in the sensor sensivity and circuitry because of manufacturing tolerance.The manufacturer will simply say that
the quality level is within tolerance or standards. Adjusting from setup menu or EV compensation.

Cowseye said:Think of taking pictures like painting with light, if you use a ND filter, u are still letting light in and painting on the sensor at slower rate, hence giving u the dreamy water effects. If you used a black card, you are simply blocking lights from entering the sensor, hence nothing is painted.

Black card is to prevent overexposure of highlights, not to prolong exposure.
