I generally use a very sturdy tripod for Waterfalls. A sturdy tripod will never blur an image. I have never needed to used a ND filter. Each waterfall is different. The creamy look is not always the best. Sometimes a high sutter speed presents a more interesting photo. Believe it or not. Sometimes even a 1/500 sec still is too slow to keep texture in some very fast moving water. Right now here in Oregon the water is moving so fast that anything slower than 1/60 sec is just too much blur and not texture. As I tell my students. Shoot the full range of shutter speeds from 1/10 sec to 1/1500 sec and chose the one that speaks to you the best. I usually start at 1/60 sec and see how much the water has turned into cotton candy. It's all a matter of the look.
