let say you found a small waterfall at a nearby park, you want to get a silky water effect, to get such effect, you need the shutter to be a few seconds at least,Hey bros. yet another question. im into landscape photography and im actually loooking forward to take those milky water shots.

yes you need a filter.
and most of the time nd 8 is not enough...
i tried stacking nd4+nd8 also not enough..
nd110 (10 stops) from B+W does the trick though.
and no no to A mode in shooting such sense. your camera cant sense that amount of light.
you can use A mode without the filter to get the time need from your camera, then switch to manual keeping the same aperture, the shutter time x10.
Usually people start with Circular Polariser (CPL) first as it helps to increase contrast in the day and also acts as a 2.5 stop ND filter. If that is not sufficient, you can then purchase other ND.
Do note that ND are not any special filters but a dark piece of glass that reduce the light into the camera. This can help to 'create' motion at time...such as making water fall silky smooth etc. It depends on the light available for your camera and the kind of effect you wish to acheive, so there is no perfect ND.
ohh. alright. thanks for the advice. i understand that people do stacking of filters. how is that done? u cant just simply stack the filters right?
the nd110 must cost a bomb yea?
ohhh okok thanks for the input. that really helped me understand how to use the ND filters. at least i wont go using the A mode. lol

If you are paying to $100, then you might want to consider LCW fader ND. That way you can have a whole range of ND in a single filter. IMO
