I took this one the other day in Speedwell Park in Morristown NJ with the aide of a 10 stop ND filter to allow for a long exposure to freeze the water:

 

awesome.....

2 sec. @ F-11 with a 400 ISO?    4 sec. @ F-11 with a 200 ISO?  Am I in the ballpark?  GREAT pic by the way!

Great picture Howard. Makes me want to buy a nice camera

Thanks all.   Dave, but sorry you are not even in the parking lot of the ballpark.  The settings were aperture f/7.1, ISO 100, and the exposure was 10 seconds.  I guess you missed in the original post that I used a 10 stop ND filter.  For those not familiar it is a very very dark filter, so dark that you can almost see nothing through the viewfinder.  It takes away 10 stops worth of light so that you can take long exposures when you have bright light.  This takes away motion and gives water that glass-like look.

Howard,

 

I was only a stop and 1/2 off, so I'm in the outer parking lot for the cheap seats, lol!   8 sec. @ F-11 with a 100 ISO is what I would have guessed (at ISO 100).  Using the "Sunny 16 Rule" for Bright Sun.  Under closer examination of your wonderful time exposure I now see no distinct shadows on the rocks in the foreground, so there's one of my entire F-stops.  Could your filter be 10.5 stops or is there some reciprocity effect on the image sensor?

 

Back in "the day", I would have used a 6cm X 12cm Fuji at F-32 with a polarizing filter and a 4X ND filter.  Ah, the glory days of film!  LOL!

 

For a 10 sec. exposure that Fisherman was really still!  Love the tonality of that shot.  With the brickwork, it would look a hundred years older if you made one in Sepia!  Our very own John Sexton!  Congrats again on a superior image!

Could my 10 stop be 10.5? Who knows.  Its a high quality B+W filter so I assume is what it claims but its really not an issue.  The thing is like pitch black.  I compose the shot and lock the focus without it and then carefully screw it on and take the picture.  With it on in this scene you could barely see the white water, but that was it.

 

The 10 stop is great if you want to take pictures of things where people are walking around.  Raise the ISO some and close the lens down a little and shoot for 30 seconds or a minute and the moving people don't even show up in the photo.

Awsome pic howard..  

Great pic.  My girlfriend lives right across the street.  The Patriot's Path is a great trail.

Very nice pics!

That looks Fantastic!

As always, AMAZING!!!
