A few days ago I had a few min to take a few picks of our local "waterfall". Im talking a 2 ft waterfall here, not some amazing fall in Yosimite or anything. The problem is that the images were over exposed because the shutter was open for a while.

I will attach pictures when I get home tonight if needed. It was an overcast day, I was shooting at ISO 100, f/29, and a SS of between 1 and 6 seconds. The shutter speed was what was killing me but I need that for the flowing look of the water. What could I do differently next time to correct the overexposed images? My guess is to get either a UV or polorarizing filter. Will they cause less light to enter, thus making the image darker? Or should I just adjust the exposure next time? thanks!

Neutral Density filters might help. They reduce the amount of light coming in, quite useful for waterfalls

Neutral Density filters is the best way, or go when lighting is less, like towards end of the day.
