I'm an avid photographer; not quite a pro, but definitely an advanced amateur. Either way, I got big into landscapes, and bought neutral density filters. Essentially what they do is cut down the amount of light coming into the camera, and allow you to take long exposures. For example, with one I can make a normally 1/8th of a second shutter speed to a 220 second shutter speed, which is what I did below. I like it as it allows you to blur things; clouds, water, etc. Feel free to see my website and "explorations" gallery for plenty of examples, but here's a shot of my tank.
220 seconds, tank lights only:
