You sure have been on a long exposure kick lately. I really like the results you've been getting. Do you find it difficult figureing out the correct exposure time for these bulb exposures?

When it's cloudy or overcast (which is the best time to use this filter...at least for me) you can take incredibly long exposures without worrying too much about overexposure. I take a reference shot first by pure guessing.....some like 45 seconds or 60 seconds. After that look at the histogram and then make another educated guess and you will usually nail it.
