How to shoot slow shutter speeds in daylight?

How to shoot slow shutter speeds in daylight without getting overexposed shots. I'm using a 35mm camera, Nikon FE. I've done slow shutter speeds at night but I'm a little cautious when it comes to day time. I'm a beginner in photography, so any help would be appreciated.

Lower the aperture f-stop of your lens. Depending on if you have a manual lens or not, you can either change the f-stops with the aperture ring, or, change it in-camera.

BUT if you want to keep your aperture at it's same level you can use and filters (Neutral Density) that will "darken the image" or "reduce the amount of light hitting the film/sensor", depending on it's intensity.

Hope I answered your question.

Use a neutral density filter. It will allow you to have longer exposures. Check this link. It explains it better than I can.

If you do not want to close your lenses down to f22 or your smallest aperture, then you need to buy neutral density filters and. I can't tell you how much you need unless you state how over exposed you are. YOu have to decide how many f stops you want to slow down to get the correct filters.

You can also buy neutral density filters that are variable in their intensity, though they are quite expensive. You can also use a polarizer filter in conjunction with a and filter to cut down on the light entering the camera. A and filter does not alter the color, it only reduces light intensity entering the camera, thus allowing use of slower shutter speeds in bright light without overexposure.

Don't forget to use your tripod just like you do at night! Day or night does not matter to the camera, only the shutter speed. A slow shutter speed handheld in the day will give blur due to camera movement just like it does at night.

Yes, everyone is correct, there are other advantages to and filters too. If you need to take a picture in a bright situation, but don't want to have everything in focus like stopping down to f22, then a and can help, it will allow you to shoot at a lower f-stop and still get proper exposure.

There are several types of and filters, There's the kind that that only half the filter is darkened, this is handy if only the top part of your picture is too bright, but the bottom is fine, then even in that you can get a soft edge which blends well or a hard edge which cuts off the light very fast.

Also is square filters which come in either a plastic type of film or glass, the glass ones are very expensive and are very delicate. The plastic ones are cheap but tough, the problem with plastic types is that they scratch easily. The glass ones are hard to scratch. Square filters need a special holder that is hard to find.

Then there's the issue of how dark the filter is, they come is different amount of darkening. If your know about stops then its pretty easy, a stop is either twice the light or half the light depending on what you need. Typical filters come in.3, .6, .9, 1.2 and 2 and so it goes that being that it means that.3 is one third of a stop and so on.

Since your new to photography, I would probably guess that a.6 and screw on filter is your best bet. Then as you get more advanced, get more. Eventually you'll want glass square ones, but that will be years down the road. Luckily as you get more advanced, stores like BandH and Adorama will buy the ones you've out grown so you can get some money back.
