It looks good if you get one person to stand absolutely still during the exposure, leaving everyone else as wisps moving around them.

Looking at getting a big stopper myself.
Trouble it seems uncertain when they can deliver and i have heard talk of 6 months.
However I have come across the Hitech Pro Stop ND filters, make sure you get the pro version. Fits Lee filter holders too.
Theres a review here http://blog.robertstrachan.com/archives/1314/hitech-pro-stop-review/
Available direct for just £60 I think I am going to give one a go.

I'm going to be honest and say that when I first saw an example of this type of photography I was really excited.
Unfortunately virtually every magazine and website is choca block with these now- milky water everywhere! Ubiquitous to say the least.
A shame as in isolation some are very beautiful.

Nice image Shaun
I have attained similar results with a welding glass attached to the lens, cost £3, but the results are clearly poor caused by sticking a non optically correct bit of glass on my lens. The best advice I can give is, setup the shot without the filter, drop the camera into manual focus and use a cable release to reduce shake, then start ramping up the exposure time from about 30 seconds, depending on the light.
These are my experiments

Anybody got any experienced user tips - do's and don'ts that aren't obvious. One of the reasons I have been hankering after one of these is that I am particularly interested in making moving objects (e.g. people) vanish from building/ landscape shots.
