Speaking of long exposure shots, I ordered a neutral density filter so I can lengthen exposures in daylight. I want to take some shots at Great Falls and would like to try with that.

I am thinking about also grabbing a monopod for when I don't want to run around with a tripod but want some stability. I don't have a very stable hand. Too much crack, masturbation, red bull... I don't know.

The neutral denisty filter is very useful. I use mine when I want to mess around with depth of field in bright light. I have a Manfrotto monopod with a ball head that I use when I am shooting with one of my big lenses -- it helps a great deal for stability. I do not have the stamina I once had, largely due to the same reasons you stated.

...what is this neutral density filter you speak of? My only technique for lengthening exposure during the day is to up the f-stop, lessening my control over depth.

I've got to read it myself. I read another one last night and saved the link but I don't have it with me. Just found this one and it looks like it will be helpful!
