-Smaller aperture using a smaller aperture (higher f-number) will make the image darker, it will also increase the depth of field (usually a good thing in landscape photography) and will reduce sharpness if you push it past a certain value (test with your own camera/lens combination to see where the softening get too bad for your taste).
-Lower ISO but don’t get into the “extended ISO” range (on Canon lower than 100, not sure about Nikon)
-Time of day around sunrise and sunset it’s darker outside so you can get longer shutter speed, also, the light is usually softer and more directional.
-ND Filter an ND filter is basically “sunglasses for you camera” it cuts the amount of light without affecting colors and lets you increase exposure time without changing other parameters
the tool that really enables long exposure photography is the neutral density or ND filter. The ND filter is basically sunglasses for your lens. It comes in different settings depending how dark the filter is. My personal favorite is my ten stop filter, which allows me to slow my shutter speed ten stops. That means a normal shot in the afternoon might require a 1/30 shutter speed at ISO 100 and f/16. With a ten stop ND filter, I can shoot the same image at 30 seconds. The other most common ND filters are a 6 stop or a 3 stop filter. You can also use your circular polarizer to cut out one or two stops of light.
