[QUOTE="hark, post: 510311, member: 13196"] As Sparky said, that one is only a 3-stop ND filter. The numbers they use to identify ND filters can be confusing. Technically that one is called a 0.9 ND filter. I believe a 10-stop (3.0) is the darkest one they make. Here is one that is inexpensive yet has received many positive reviews. B&H also has this filter for a good price.

Not sure if you know how an ND filter works. You need to identify the correct exposure BEFORE putting the filter on the lens. Once you figure it out, then you need to figure out how to set your camera for 10-stops slower...either by changing the shutter, the aperture, or a combination of the two.
