Thanks rkligman. I was just thinking about it and yes, I didn't do it for 30. You're right. thats WAY overkill. I believe my setting said 0"3 and it was still too much light. I'll try at sunset or sunrise. Thanks for the info!
@QT - 30 seconds is WAY overkill. You only need from 1/2 to 2 seconds or so. Here is an old shot. 1 sec exposure at f19. Get to the location as the sun is coming up so the area is lit by ambient vs. direct light. That will help you keep the shutter...

I'm a newbie at photography so I'm just learning what all this stuff means. If you can give me any pointers that would be great!
