How did you get the hazy effect in the center of the photograph, eh?

The hazy effect in the center? If you're meaning the result of the water, it's by using a longer exposure with a 10 stop ND filter.

I understand. What exactly does a ND filter do? It is a neutral density filter, right?

Yes, it blocks out light allowing a longer exposure time.

It is very interesting to see how light builds a look of distortion. good toning.

what was your shutter speed and aperature size for this shot?

thanks! just one more hting. was there a lot of light or not? it seems that f/11 with this amount of light for that shutter speed would be really overexposed. (im trying to do the same type of photography where i am now) i've been using f/29 for 5 seconds in a dark forest and if i make the shutter speed even longer it is overexposed. just trying to work this out.

I used an NDx1000 filter, because of that very reason, it was very bright, and sunny. The NDx1000 filter underexposes the shot by 10 stops, so I can increase the exposure like so.

Yeah, the NDx400, 800, 1000 are a lot harder to find, not available in most common shops.
