Hey all,

Thanks for the replies so far. It looks like I've potentially been doing this wrong judging by your replies. I'm only a beginner so what I've been doing is using TV instead of AV and setting a 30 second shutter speed manually instead of using AV and going to, say, F22. My settings are usually ISO100, shutter 30 seconds. I might give M a go and see how it pans out. This filter cost me $280 and the Lee locally will be over $400 so I kind of want to make sure it's the filter not coping with what I want than me screwing up

Jonathan Huyer, I just showed my fiance some of your shots, especially the ones of the polar bears, so expect us to be ordering some prints on the weekend Also, thanks for the little "graph" about stops etc, it makes a little bit of sense to me now. So, if I have a 5 stop filter, if I set to 1/30 it will then expand to 1/2 of a sec? Or am I reading that backwards?
