I have useful in quotes since I'm not likely to see any waterfalls on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico in South Texas, but I love learning regardless. I enjoy dpreview too.

If you aren't going to use autofocus(and you probably shouldn't for this type of photography), you can use a linear polarizer which is much cheaper than a CPL. Two of these work as a ND filter when you stack them on each other. Just twist one of them to get any variable of light density you wish.
