[QUOTE="nickt, post: 532381, member: 4923"] I think you need to read up on exposure principals. You can't just arbitrarily choose a longer shutter speed to blur things. It all has to balance out with aperture and iso. Like Nikos said, you will probably need a ND filter. But get yourself familiar with how shutter, aperture and iso are come together to give a correct exposure. You can't normally just change one parameter without changing one of the others. Out in daylight, it will be hard without the ND filter to cut back on light. You are at iso 100, that's the best you can do to make your camera less sensitive to light. As Nikos said, you can make your aperture smaller but there is only so far you can go. Try aperture priority and let the camera meter the scene. Then as you raise aperture, the shutter speed will adjust down to maintain good exposure. You'll get what you get for a shutter speed and it might not go low enough to blur the river, but you should end up with a proper exposure. [/QUOTE]
