Herb The moon shot is great. Nice detail. Being a fan of IR pictures, i like the 3 you have chosen to show. Very smooth texture in these,much different than film were grain rules.LOL
I'd be interested to see the colour pictures prior to conversion. I keep forgetting i can shoot in B&W mode on the D1. I just need to justify another big diameter filter. I have seen the D1 IR samples on the Nikon BB and they look very good. Maybe i'll just get me another filter and play.
