Over the weekend I was hiking along a snow covered trail which runs alongside a series of waterfalls. I wanted to slow down the shutter enough so that the water looked like it was moving. But, when I did this, obviously the image sensor was then obsorbing too much light. I tried to compensate by taking the aperature to F8 and then I set the ISO to 50. But, ataround 1/40 second, it was still too bright. What do you do in a situation like this? Is this where filters come in handy? I've never used filters before. BTW, the camera in question is a PS Canon A520.

I think what you want would be a neutral density filter.
Another approach to try might be, assuming you are working off a tripod, to take multiple exposures and combine them after in photoshop (or other software). |

Can you frame the shot or choose a view using more optical zoom? That will make the f/stop smaller.

The question is - can you get an ND filter for a digicam? |

Why not use your exposure compensation. It free and already built right into your camera. I like free things.
