Edit your post and choose "insert" for the image instead of attach.

It's not a great image because I had the settings wrong on the gopro, but it's still a total mood.

Fish Creek, AZ in winter. Really hard to get to this spot now after a large widlfire and subsequent monsoon storms washed out the access road.

I'm thinking about making a trip to the smokies this fall and try some trout fishing. I'm not much of a landscape shooter but I'll be in a lot of small streams and would like to get some blurred motion/water images like this. What size ND do you typically use and what size lens "typically" (I know it will change some depending on location).

Shockingly, I don't even have a set of ND filters. This was just high aperture (f/22) and a 3 sec shot with a -1.67 exposure bias. It was also overcast, later in the day, and down in a gulley so I had more shade to work with. I shot it with an 18/200 at 110mm (165mm full frame) Just a typical 72mm barrel "walking around" lens. If I'm going to do some dedicated landscape stuff more close-up, a 70mm , 50mm, 35mm depending. And my 16mm for wide landscapes.

I should get a gnd kit for Hawaii...

I don't either, lol. Good to know. I have a polarizing filter so that should help a little bit in blocking light. I may grab one ND for my largest lens then I can use some step down rings for the smaller ones.

Ladies and gentlemen, I may have achieved a VERY difficult nature photo!

If you can’t see it, here it is zoomed in to the maximum.

I compared it to star charts on Stellariumweb, and I think I got it.
