Moving water effect

Hi I have managed this type of shot before in the evenings. (shutter open for a longer period to catch the flowing water)

How ever I have had problems with this during the day, the main problem being over exposure!

What is a good way to combat this? I've tried using the exposure compensation on my camera, but still suffer with over exposure!

Is this a job for a filtre perhaps?

Yes, a Neutral Density filter.

· Neutral Density filters are available in the following strengths:
· .3 (2X) #101 Reduces the light one f-stop.
· .6 (4X) #102 Reduces the light two f-stops.
· .9 (8X) #103 Reduces the light three f-stops.
· 1.8 (64X) #106 Reduces the light six f-stops
· 3.0 (1,000X) #110 (ten f-stops) & 4.0 (10,000X) #113 (seventeen f-stops) are for astrological and sun studies.

They are stackable. So if you get the .3 and .6 and .9, you can reduce by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 stops by stacking different combinations.
