Something fun to try... 10 Stop ND filter hack
Keep in mind... I'm a rank amateur, emphasis on the 'rank'. :haha:
Option A: $160 for a Lee Big Stopper http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...4_x_4_Big.html
Option B: $5 for a welding hood replacement lens. http://www.lowes.com/pd_178836-1703-...%3D2&facetInfo=
A step up ring, some black silicone, and some black duct tape and I've got a new toy to play with! Plus I won't be devastated when I drop it on some slickrock in a canyon.
First attempt:

(made b/w so I wouldn't have to deal with the whole white balance issue)
Second attempt:

For this one I set the in camera white balance using a white piece of paper. Worked nice. I wish the falls weren't in shadow, but oh well, that's when I was there. Exposure time was just under 2 minutes a f22. Makes the people milling around on the trail just disappear!
Neither one were optimal conditions for using a 10stop filter, but it was fun anyway! Go try it!
