The Sky According to Narcissus
At the same reservoir near Wernigerode, where hence I had an utter field day, literally!
I used an ND2-400 Grey Filter Vario from hama, on the kitlens at 55mm and brought the dark to several ƒ-stops creased inclusive of the available ƒ36 on the camera less that of the lens 1:3.5-5.6 determined by minimum and maximum focal range from 18-55mm. Thankfully I also got hold of, thanks to my partner Vera, Up & Down rings, which means you use them to fit any filter onto any lens, just adapt the rings. Think of it as adjustable sunglasses to fit differing sized eyeballs done manually.

So I snapped off a daytime Long Exposure at the full preset 30 seconds, adjusting the ND filter can sometimes be a task of trial and error, if you're like me and hopeless at math, the equations of ƒ-stops is lost on us! So trial and error is often the game.
Plus you can only do this with a tripod or a flat stable surface.
I hope that explains things clearly enough. The photo is of course water reflecting the sky, embankment and the tree line. I threw in a stone to get a slight rippled effect and deliberate motion blur for additional visual authentication.
Huge appreciation to all my followers, favers, commentators, etc, and so as always, thank you! :)
