I just returned from a trip to Idaho and Yellowstone a couple of days ago. I took lots of pics and may post a few here later on. I have a question though. Here is a pic of a manmade waterfall at my inlaws house that I took. As you can see - it's a long shutter speed (I think 1 sec). It was late in the evening on an overcast day which made lighting conditions possible to get this pic. Now I've tried this same type of shot during the day with no real acceptable results. On a sunny day with an fstop of f25, I couldn't even get a 1/4 sec shutter speed shot without massive overexposure. However I've seen these types of pictures taken that look beautiful. I'm curious what guys are using to achieve long shutter speeds (1/4 sec or longer) taken in the middle of the day. Are they using some type of ND filters in addition to high fstops? What about different meterings?
