Amazing! I like scenes captured with a long exposition time. simply beautiful.
How can i catch water or something else like this, when light is too bright? Even with the iso 100 i cannot put shutter speed on 1 second or longer. I need to experiment, but if you can give me an advice i would be greatful

Thank you!
If you cannot get your exposure time long enough when the aperture is smallest (highest F number), it sounds like what you need is a couple of neutral density (ND) filters.
You put them in front of your lens, and they reduce the amount of light that reaches the sensor or film. You get them in various grades. It depends a bit on the brand but typically an ND filter with a rating of 0.3 means you can expose your shot 1 stop longer. Normal filter ratings go up to 0.9 but you can combine several filters to stop it down further.
So that's what you do when the whole image your capturing needs roughly the same exposure. If you are capturing the sea for instance, where the sky is a lot brighter than the water, you would use a graduated ND filter. The top half of this would be the filter, and the bottom half clear glass. This way you stop down the light sky but not the sea. You can have hard or soft graduated filters.
Typical brand of filters (and I haven't used any so cannot recommend) are Hoya, Lee, Cokin. I am sure there's more out there too.

Hi MikeyNay,
Thanks for your comment! The actual spot has a very surreal feel, lots of moss, old trees, etc - it reminded me of the scenery from lords of the rings.
This is a single capture with a long exposure time (two thirds of a second). This gives the effect with the water. The only changes I made (using PS elements 6) were:
- adjusted the overall brightness (original was a bit too dark)
- added a slight vignetting effect (darkened the corners)
- added the frame and signature
