I was very lucky... this waterfall was in a deep crevasse, off on one side and the sun was in front of me so all of this side of the crevasse was in the shade.
Combine that with F22 and ISO 100 and I got away with an 8 second exposure time
But you have a 500D, right? Surely someone should make filters for this? Look at Lee, Hoya or even Cokin.

sure you are lucky
yea i found filters for it
but when i took a look at those filters
i found them having some degrees
some filters are darker than the others
so iam really confused
i guess that i have to go some day to see them by my self and decide .. thats the best way

well, it's about making shutter time longer. Filters have ratings of how much they stop down they light. For instance with lee filters, the ratings are 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, where 0.3 equals 1 stop. So with the 0.3 filter, instead of a shutter time of 1/125, you could increase it by one stop, ie 1/100. Obviously you'd use them at already longer shutter times but I don't remember what they are
So what you want is a couple of ND filters, 1, 2 and 3 stops. Combined this gives you 6 stops down.
Then you probably want some ND grad (graduated) filters, where one half is clear and the other half is the filter. This is so you can darken the sky and thus give the whole pic an equal exposure (where normally either the sky would be overexposed, or the foreground would be underexposed.
ND Grad filters come in the same ratings as normal ND filters, but then also in two varieties: hard and soft. This is about the transition from filtered to clear. A hard filter has a very quick transition. This makes them good for pics with a straight horizon, with hardly anything dark sticking out above it, like a seascape. The soft ones are good for pics where the middle part has both light and dark sections (like a mountain scene).
Phew! That was probably the longest reply I've ever written on here!
