WOW! I cant seem to come to grips that those are your shots. Those are absolutely stunning!
 

Thanks. That's my another hobby.

It is said that his true art was in the darkroom, but I have never seen an actual print in person. I might like to some time.
 
And lostid: Very impressive. Where were those taken, if I might ask?

Thanks. Both shots were taken from Oahu, Hawaii.

Since a real print is so much better than a page in a book, a medium-resolution web image would be total garbage:
 

 
Somehow it still looks pretty good. I have marveled at the real thing but it was long ago.
 
 
Really great images from lostid and dfkt, keep em' coming!

Every time I look at sunsets and clouds from some other part of the world, I wish I wasn't in Michigan

Are you using a flash on these Lostid?  Looks like a different color light source from behind the camera on all of them with some frozen action and some long exposure filling in giving the blur.  Really pretty!

You can also get bored of the sunsets/clouds too.

Thanks. I use GND filters. No flash. The flash won't be effective for longer distance. All shots were set on tripod.

Do you have any experience with variable density filters? I've been interested in them, but never given any a shot due to the cost. What I'm wondering is mostly how easy it is to control the exact amount of exposure reduction, and if it gets banding like a polarizer if turned too far or used on an ultra-wide.

Haven't been around much here lately...too busy out taking pictures (among other things).
 
Here's a favorite from a few weeks ago, Mobius Arch in the Alabama Hills with the High Sierra (including Mt. Whitney) in the background.  Taken under the light of a near-full moon in beautiful solitude.

What rhythm pointed out (questioning the use of the flash) does seem a bit odd.  I am surprised the GND filter was able to add so much back lighting from the opposite direction as the sun.  The sun in your photo is giving pretty unidirectional lighting since the clouds are blocking most of the scattered light from the sky.
 
By using the GND filter it gives the photo an almost multi-photo HDR effect which goes against what I would expect the scene to look like in person, especially with the Very directional lighting.  Different.

Interesting concept.  I wonder if a slightly different angle could have given less of the rock on the bottom and focused more on the hole while seeing more of the valley / mountains / sky?
I enjoy the night time sky.
