Neutral density filters

A neutral density (ND) filter increases exposure time— blur away moving objects, lovely smooth water, etc. If a desired density and size is not available, consider a step-up ring to a larger size, such as 77mm.

A variable ND filter is more expensive, but gives the versatility of a wide range of densities.
