Neutral Density filter question?
I own the Panasonic Lumix TZ10:
http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_GB/Products/LUMIX+Digital+Cameras/Super+Zoom/DMC-TZ10/Specification/3377878/index.html?trackInfo=true
and I'd like to be able to take photos of waterfalls/streams etc using slow shutter speeds.
I've tried during the day, using a tripod but the result is way overexposed.
The smallest aperture I can set is F6.3, I've borrowed a ND8 filter from a friend but the result is still over-exposed with any shutter speeds over 1 second.
I have to hand hold the filter in front of the lens as you cannot screw them on, so I wondered if a stronger ND filter would do the trick, something like ND16?
Do you think I should try that, I don't know how good they are but you can get some cheap ones on ebay...

Any advice greatly received.
Well depends. An ND8 probably would work depending on prevailing weather and time of day.
You don't really want to go to much more than 5 seconds anyway as the longer you go the more sensitive to light leaks a setup becomes, so an ND16 should be about right.
