Well, I paid £1.50 for a piece, roughly equivalent to a 10 stop, but causes a terrible green hue, so B&W is pretty much necessary unless you can recover it.
Basically my Sony A200, 18-70mm kit lens, tripod, wired remote, welding glass. The glass I glued onto a ring from a lens hood that I removed. now it just screws onto the front!

I'm quite chuffed with this, first attempt on a murky evening, I imagine a bright sunny day would be better. Any tips for improvement?

Ahhh nice idea! Does the job nicely. ND filters arn't cheap. I do want to get some tho.

I got a pack of filters that cost around £20 last Christmas.
They are great fun and the results are top, if you like landscape photography.
The Cokin types I have mean you can stack a couple, getting near to a 10-stop filter.
I think this was a pair of filters, stacked:

Nice! I didn't want to spend anything in it really as I may not enjoy it/want to continue it. But, if I do I will buy a decent filter, but for a few quid it's great to give an idea of exposure times, focusing, set up, results, what to expect etc.
