After getting a couple ND filters for my birthday I had to test them out. I had previously planned on using them in this location once I had them. I wanted to capture the swirling water that this small falls created. The only thing that an ND filter does is let in less light during an exposure allowing the photographer to use longer shutter speeds.
This was a 25 second exposure. Without the ND filters the slowest shutter speeds were around 2 seconds.
This was a 20 second exposure. I used the vertical orientation to make the biggest swirl the focal point.

...that is so cool. The swirl looks like a satellite cloud formation of a hurricane!
Excellent photo. I agree it dose look like a hurricane in the water. I've seen them up close and personal, live in Florida.
Great shots! What optical density do your ND filters employ?
I think I found what I want for my birthday; thanks for the idea.
That is totally cool.

Great photos love the formations in the water
It definitely gives a different effect. ND filters, eh?
Eric that's a great shot. Bet it is really neat to see something like that up close.
@Bryan: I believe I used a 3 stop (.9) filter for both of these shots. I also have a 2 stop (.6) filter.
those are so pretty
