This was a bright sunny day, so even at ISO 100, the longest exposure I could get was around .1 second without filters. I have a polarizer that I can also use as a neutral density filter and I used that to gain a couple stops for some pictures. 5 seconds would have been way over-exposed.
On cloudy days I have taken 1-2 second exposures and get a very smooth effect to the moving water.

I see. I know nothing about longer exposures in the daytime because I dont often shoot during the day. I'm used to taking extended (10+ sec. I'm not talking hours, here. I can't even afford a decent tripod much less the equipment -or knowledge- needed for a nightlong shot) exposures on a regular basis @ISO100 (Btw, Fuji Neopan 100 is awesome for this. great reciprocity characteristics). Excuse me for my ignorance . I am too tired to think.
