Thanks a lot, now my ideas are clearer! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Just one question: was the ND filter handheld?

Yes, I handhold the neutral density filters with this lens. I have a full set of Cokin X-Pro filters, and several Singh-Ray in the X-Pro size, and I would just get the Cokin versions. They are just as good, a little thicker, and MUCH less expensive. On this shot with the 40D I think I was hand-holding the X120 filter and you can see I came down the grass/sedge too much, but the shadow on the glacier on the other side helps reduce the obviousness (the image is way over processed though).
I processed another photo from the 5D II, and this time was a little more careful with the levels. It looks mostly the same as the other, but it is a different image with more processing to simulate a ploarizer. I shot this on aperture priority at f/8 and took out all the insects that look like sensor dust too.
