Enjoying your work!

Mmmm... I would have considered your gear to be an expensive arsenal!

I am considering upgrading to a D90 or D7000 from d60. Why do you regret change from 90 to 7000? (I really would not use the video).

Spectacular!

Just wondering what f-stop and ISO number you were using for these exposures as well.

Click on the image that interests you to go to its Flickr page. Then click on the "This image was taken with the Nikon D90" (or Nikon D7000, as the case may be) link near the upper right on the page to see the EXIF data for the image in question.

EDIT: Well, that usually works. Can't find it for these particular images, though. Tom, do you have EXIF data disabled for your images? I seem to remember not too long ago being able to find your EXIF information on at least one of these images. Seem to recall you were shooting at ISO 200 around F11, for the ones I looked at more closely -- and as you said, the length of exposure varies wildly.

Really amazing! Love your work

So, Tom -- dumb question time. As I understand it, a 1.6 ND filter lowers the light entering the lens by one and two-thirds stops. Presuming you were shooting these images at f11 with the filter, what is the difference between doing that and shooting without the filter, but with your aperture stopped down an additional one and two-thirds stops? Obviously doing the latter would increase diffraction softness in the final image (or, in some other cases, depth of field would be increased, which might be unwanted), but other than that, is there a difference?
