Slow Shutter speed overexposure

    Hi folks

    I have a Panasonic FZ28 and am still experimenting with it. I'm trying to take outdoor pics at a slow shutter speed (eg water flowing from a tap etc) but I'm finding that any speed below 1/8 sec at the very most and I'm getting extremely overexposed pics. I have the aperture value at the smallest possible which in this camera is F/8. Is there anyway around this with a bridge type camera?

    Cheers

    You've probably already done it but is you ISO on the lowest setting.

    You need a ND filter.

    It's too bright outside for 1/8 sec @f8.

    You have a couple of options.

    1. Wait until later in the evening when it's not as bright outside. Then you should be able to decrease the shutter speed so you won't underexpose. I find that approx. half a second is ideal for getting flowing water. Obviously this depends on the speed of the water as well.

    2. If your camera will allow, you can stick an ND filter onto the front of it. A 2 stop ND should suffice for you @ 1/8th-f8 to be able to slow it down to half a second for you.

    If you don't know what an ND filter is then google it and you will find out what it is and what it does.

    Best of luck.
