You need lower iso, a higher possible fstop and/or ND filter(s) to reduce the light.

I would have thought 1/4 sec would be slow enough for a fountain blur.
..too much light most certainly!

I did try taking a reading from a darker object and recomposing but it didn't help. To be honest I'm not sure what shutter speeds are best for these results, that's the point of this exercise at college I think!

Incidently my D70 won't go any lower than ISO200... and as I remember the Lee filter kit with the ND filter which I've looked at before is a bit pricey!
