I've been thinking about ND filters myself ;-)

Regarding the second shot, perhaps I need my tail twisting ;-)

<snip>

A confession :though.  ;-) I am about to reveal a photographic moment so
for
unknown.:-)  Undoubtly good friend Jim Brick will draw and qurater me
for this one.;-)I purchased a 2X ND filter to use with the Noctilux
during outside shooting! jeeeesh Jim not too hard, please. ;-)  After
all I'm a senior citizen! ;-)

Simply because when the occasion arose to use f 1.0 so it would make for
different and effective photographs with the Noctilux in very bright
light.
:-) See Jim, when it's explained it's not so bad. ;-)

The second shot is still the best. ;-)
