Problem on waterfall photography? - 1

Hi guys i'm using Nikon D7000 55-300mm lense, i went to shoot waterfall at that place sunlight was too high, and i tried to capture it and my camera setting was

aperture - f8
ss - 6"
iso - 100

What's wrong with that? Tried many times and i used tripod also! Picture becoming high colour like too bright! Can't see anything… Help me

You need a neutral density filter to shoot long exposures in daylight.

Look, if your correct exposure in bright light is fractions of a second (say, 1/125 sec at f16) then obviously 6 seconds is going to be overexposed!

You need probably an 8 stop or 10 stop and filter to cut down the light. You also need to stop down a little more - f16 or f22 for starters.

More importantly, if you are going to splash out out a decent DSLR like a D7000 at least learn the basics of photography - the exposure triangle for example.

I wouldn't say you need an and filter.
You can Bring that ss up a little and bring the aperture to the lowest your lens can handle (11f?) and bring your iso down further if possible and then use your cameras exposure compensation feature. (exp -4)

And remember in photography when your in a challenging environment, its all about playing around with the setting.

PS: TRY A DIFFRENT TIME OF DAY. MAYBE IN THE LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY MORNING WHEN THE SUN IS NOT TO HARSH.
