Even at f32 you still would have need to increase the shutter speed to darken the photo, increased shutter speed would then lessen the smoothing effect. Remember you still need to keep your exposure meter at or near the center.As mentioned before there a several way around this one is to shoot early or late in the day or use a neutral density filter. Think of a ND filter as dark glasses for your camera. The CPL filter is to control reflections off shinny surfaces like water can be at times.</blockquote>
