Hey Jerry, good to see you here. I hope you'll start a little gallery here at Renderosity too. Don't worry, if we have any questions I am sure we'll ask you. ;'] No worries jocko, I am glad you used my image. You method of removing hot spots looks like it works pretty well too. Here is how it turned out using my method. BTW, this was one of the first test photos I took with my IR filter last year. @John, okay, thanks. I agree...not a good idea for long exposures.
