[QUOTE="hark, post: 702718, member: 13196"] The ICE ND1000 (10-stop) is a decent neutral density filter that won't break the bank. It screws onto the front of your lens. When choosing an ND filter, buy the size that fits your lens with the largest size front filter threads. You can always use step-up rings to fit it on lenses that are smaller in diameter. A 9 or 10 stop will work well. The thing is you can always raise your ISO if you find your shutter speed is too slow. If you do that, then you can shorten the length of time for the exposure. One problem with really long exposures is if you have trees swaying in the wind. A long exposure will really blur the branches. But like I said, you can compensate with increasing your ISO as well as your shutter speed to balance the time. And if you have a circular polarizer, that might give you around 1 to 1.7 stops difference in speed so it's also an option if you don't have an ND filter at hand. As far as color cast, the ICE filter might have a slight color cast that can be tweaked during post processing. When I used mine, I didn't notice any adverse affect in any way.
