Filter Neutral Density

How can I use a neutral density filter to help me make my “longer exposure time” pictures look better?

I’m glad to see the answer from “Zanthus” has 9 thumbs down, (I just gave one myself). That answer is TOTALLY WRONG. I hate it when people who do not know what they are talking about answer here. The other answers are correct.

Again though, your question reads as if you think the filter will make your long exposure photos look better. The filter does not do that, it only decreases light so you have the ability to shoot longer exposures in bright light. You CAN use a POLARIZER filter to help cut down on light, and in some cases these can improve the look of a photo, but even that depends on the angle of the camera to the sun.
