Well after doing some tests with the camera I found a slight problem. The smallest aperture is only f8 which causes a problem when trying to do panning shots during the middle of the day.. My solution was to simply ( so I thought) add a ND or a polarizing filter to the front of the lens to cut down the light entering the camera which would let me shoot slower with out blowing out the exposure. There was only one slight issue…my nice little Canon point and shoot does not have any filter threads on the lens and Canon does not make any adapters either..I found one online but it really did not look all that great anyway..soo I decided to make my own.. With some scrap pieces of plastic, some ND paper for hot lights and some crazy glue I made myself a little filter holder.

I does look ghetto but it works great and also allows me to add more ND filters if I want to really cut light out..for let say a point and shoot rig shot
