    Using 10 stop ND Filter, need tutorial/help

    Hey guys, bought a zomei 10 stop ND filter (100mmx100mm with 82mm holder), and I have been using it twice at my local beach so far and I am not really happy with what I am getting so far. So any tips in regards to:
    -what time of day is better to shoot with ND filter
    -wheather condition (clouds? gray sky? blue sky?)
    -apperture (which apperture for which light condition)
    -general tutorial
    are greatly appreciated..

    Here's what I have done so far learning from youtube and reading from some blogs:

    Set my camera in B mode
    Have my apperture on 10-13 (tried 22)
    auto focus before I put the filter on
    Trying results in 3.5,8,12,15,30,45,60,70 seconds

    Here is the sample i took in frankston this after with exif data, i dont really like the result

    There is a white streak on the right, is that light leak? I thought it was a light leak and caused by the cheap filter i am using but I ve read same leak problem with lee big stopper too.
    Shot this with remote by the way.
    Thanks in advance

    by the way, i did not take this pic with a tripod as i forgot to bring it with me. instead I placed the camera on a stone like retainer along the beach line, it is flat and somewhat high enough to see a bit of water. Higher position with tripod may look better.
