Long Exposure Photography: Worth The Time And Effort?

This week I ventured out to a waterfall for two reasons: 1. It was near by and unfortunately, I did not have much free time to spend with my camera this week. 2. It had rained heavily for two days so I figured there would be lots of water flowing down the falls. On my way to the falls, I stumbled upon a couple compositions that made me take out my camera and see what I could capture. Once I reached the falls, I decided that it would be fun to compare images taken with a long exposure and an ND filter with images taken with faster shutter speeds.

As I did not initially plan on making this a comparison video its not particularly good or well planned in that regards but it is interesting none the less. It turns out that under the conditions of this day I see no reason to mess around with an ND filter for long exposures as there was enough water running down the falls that 1/4 exposures were long enough to capture the motion (HOWEVER a polarizer could be nice!).
