So, I took these today and then had a little mess around on photoshop for something to do.
Not sure how I feel about them really, I just liked the colours!

I've only just recently got the Canon 600D, don't think I can afford anything else just yet! However, the 60Da does sound great.

I have a tripod and a gorillapod. I used the gorillapod to try and get a picture of some running water at the beach, but it was a really sunny day and I realise now was doing too long an exposure with the wrong aperture.
I practised a bit today pouring wine into a glass, and seemed to get the effect I was after...I'm getting there, just need to try it outside now. With a bit of luck I'll get something halfway decent by the end of the week! :lol:
Thanks for all your help!

Amanda, That's a wonderful shot and you say you're new to photography! Anyone new to photography that can produce a shot like that is going to be scary good when she really gets things figured out. Keep posting I want to watch you progress. ......... Coot

Below is a shot I took of a little waterfall by the side of the road. It was handheld at 1/2 sec, f/20.0, ISO 100. You don't always need an ND filter. You can experiment in the house with water at the sink.

Thank you, i'll try again tomorrow.

Can you elaborate further on what type of long exposure photos you desire to take. What venue? Astrophotography etc ???

I'd like to try the 'soft' water effect, and night exposures of my city skyline.
I only really want to get a feel for it at the moment though, to get some practise in.
Eventually I would love to do astrophotography!

you can get programs like photome which are free or it reads out on photoshop or just remember your iso,shutter speed, and aperture as well as the camera make and budda bing. you got it.
Ah right, thanks.
I just had a look and I used ISO 800, f/5.6 and 1/100 sec. I used a 70-300 lens on a Canon 600D.

Great shot,Luthien! Considering you were taking it through glass,you did very well!
Thank you :)
There was a glare & it was humid in the enclosure, so I was quite shocked it turned out the way it did.

Thank you everyone. :)
I'm not sure... How do I find this out?

I'd like to try long exposure photography for a change but every time I try my images turn out either over exposed or very dull.
Could anyone give me some tips and point me in the right direction please?

I've actually just been looking at that exact site. I have a cheap ND8 filter which I got a while ago, but I'm looking into getting either the Hoya or B+W now.
