Nikon D80 and 'waterfall' picture?

I'm a novice photographer. I have a Nikon D80 and a tripod that I would like to use for taking a 'waterfall' picture (examples here: ) where the falling water gets blurred. I have seen several answers that describe this, but none easy enough for me to follow since either they describe what to do with a different camera or it was not step-by-step and easy to follow.

Can someone describe what should I do to take a such picture step by step using D80 buttons and controls?

If doing this in daylight you will need a neutral density filter, otherwise you will overexpose the shot with a long exposure in bright light.

Place camera on tripod.
Set aperture to f16 or so.
Have ISO around 100-200 (whatever the base ISO is).
Focus where the waterfall is using auto focus, then switch to manual focus.
Attach and filter.
Set shutter speed to a couple of seconds.
Set the self timer ON (or use a remote).
Take picture.
Review results.

It's difficult to say what shutter speed you need as it depends on how fast the water is moving and how much blur you want.

If the blur is too much then speed up the shutter (ie make it 1/2 or 1/4 sec). If it's not enough then make it longer (ie make it 5 secs).

What and you need depends on how long you want the exposure and how much light there's. In bright conditooms I use an 8 or 10 stop filter. Of it's gloomy you could get away with less. If you shoot when the light level is lower (ie sunset) you may not need one at all.

You need a Neutral Density filter set… Cokin are a decent brand and you should look at their system it's a cost effective and practical solution… You can pick up less expensive options on e-bay and Amazon.

The best way to learn would be to pop into the library and pick up a photography guide book, there's a huge selection of books and most of them will cover the type of shot you want to shoot… It isn't complicated… It takes practice though… So don't expect to buy a filter set and get perfect results… You need to develop your technique… Just read the chapter that discusses 'long exposures'… There would normally be a couple of images to help illustrate the type of results you can expect.

Two words: Exposure time

Your link is a dud, by the way.

If you want some blurring of the waterfall, as others have said you will need a neutral density filter if you are going to do it during full daylight. Or you could wait until dusk. You will likely need to experiment with a couple of shots until you get a long enough shutter speed to get the amount of blurring you desire. Keep the ISO as low as it will go, and keep the Aperture at f/16 to f/22. Shutter speeds of 1 second or longer will create quite a bit of blurring. If you want less blur you can increase the shutter speed.

The specific camera you use is irrelevant. All DSLRs essentially work the same. If you do not know how to adjust your shutter speed, ISO or aperture, then you need to read your camera user manual. All the instructions to change settings using D80 buttons and controls are in there.

Nice question bro. I'm pretty much retired thanks to a cheat i learned for online roulette. Seriously, i'm earning over $4000/month sitting on my ***. The youtube video that taught me can be found here:

You need a long shutter speed in order to blur the water. That means a smaller aperture. Set your camera to, say, 1/30 and let the camera select the aperture.
Alternatively, you can use a high shutter speed to freeze the water movement. The camera will then select a wider aperture.
But the whole thing should be about YOU experimenting with different functions and seeing which work. It's by far the best way to learn.
