Hi everyone,
This is my first thread after just joining the Forum.
I have recently bought a Fujifilm HS10 bridge camera with a lens of 24mm-720mm. The main reason I bought it was because I didn't want to carry extra lenses around with me which would have been the case if I had bought an SLR. The camera fits the bill in this respect but it has some limitations in that the maximum aperture is f8 and the slowest shutter speed is 4 seconds. These limitations make it impossible to take pictures of a waterfall or the sea and make the water silky and blurred. I realise that to get over this problem I need to buy a Neutral Density Filter so I can use my highest aperture setting (f8) and a slow shutter speed to hopefully get the desired effect. My question is what ND filter would allow me to achieve the right result bearing in mind my limited aperture and shutter speeds. Do I get a 6-stop, 8-stop or 10-stop filter?
Thank you, hope someone can help.
