    I don't have a grad ND filter, but I've got some crappy ND filters..and yeah. I find the light after the sun sets behind the horizon to be the most pleasing light to work with.

    You can also stack a CPL on top of an ND. Then you'll definitely need a tripod and hope nothing moves (unless you want it to). But the combo lets you get the sun before it drops out of sight and not have blown highlights. For this shot the tripod may not have been necessary for some folks (it was shot with the 24-105mm @50mm and 1/50 sec), but I'm not a super steady shooter, so for me a tripod is essential if I want sharp detail at those speeds.

    Now that's what I call a silhouette M Six! Great shot
    Have you considered trying a 2:1...16:9(something like that) ratio where you crop of the top? I think that could look good. Just a thought...

    Last week, January 24th there was a major energy storm as the result of an explosion on the sun(that's what I understand from it).
    The lightshow was predicted to be very visible in the northern parts of Europe, definitely in Scandinavia, but there was also a small chance that it was visible in the Netherland if we had clear skies. We did! At least at the beginning of the evening, but clouds gently covered the lower parts of the horizon. Anyway it was cold, but I definitely gain more and more interest in shooting at night. It's something special. Also I discovered a very nice place fairly close to my home soNo incredible green lightshows in my shot, but still:

    M_Six - That is a beautiful sky... very nice color, and makes a very nice silhouette.

    Jan - I have always been partial to night shots.

    Yeah, nice night shot, Jan. I really need to practice those more. My night skies always come out pitch black except for the moon. Evening skies, when there is still a little light, seem to be easier to shoot.

    On that silhouette shot, I was buzzing down my usual backroad commute and saw the sun just beginning to set behind that tree. I stood on the brakes and backed up in a hurry. There was a house right behind me and I bet the people in it were wondering who the nut was across the street taking pics of a tree.
