To set an exposure time of 8 sec, Put camera in the Tv (Time value) mode with the knob on the top left of the camera. Then turn the wheel next to the shutter release until 8" is indicated. However, I don't think this will give you a good picture, unless you are in very low light. 8 sec is a LONG time. You probably will need to set your iso rating to as low as possible (100 I think). 1 or 2 sec should give you the effect you want anyway. You will definitely need a tripod. PS I just tried the above on my 20d. Try the above before you go to the waterfall and see what you get. There are other things that may need to be done to get what you want. e-mail me if you want, and I will try to help. The 20d is my primary camera now and I love it.

What the other folks said and you could also use a Polarizing filter or Neutral Density filter over the lens to knock down the light coming through the lens. This would help you to achieve the slow shutterspeeds without overexposing.

You can put it on S for speed and set the speed to 8. Be sure to use a tripod or set your camera on something, otherwise the whole photo will blur and not just the water.

why don't you use one or a combination of the neutral density filters.
