Inspired by these photos, I got a few ND filter this weekend at a photo swap meet (motley collection of 49mm ND2 for a few prime lenses I have yet to use, ND8 that fits most of my lenses, and also a ND4 included in a mirror/reflex lense I bought).
Here's a few from Venice taken May 2009:
30 second shot taken resting my A100 on the Accademia bridge rail. Surprised there wasn't more bounce given the pedestrian traffic. My cheap tripod had fallen apart on top of a Pyrenee ridgetop a few days earlier.

I will have to go dig up some of my time exposure shots I have shot over the past 15 years. I have exposures from 1s to 6 hours (thats not a type either i kept detailed notes back in the film days). Time exposure for me is one of those fun things to see what you get, and over the years i have gotten some spectacular images including lightening bolts and even a tornado in the process of lowering to the ground. Ironically this is one of the reasons why i keep a medium format camera around so that i can do real long exposures (30 min plus) and then take the images and print extremely large (40x60)
Sadly Digital doesnt do as good as a job as film does on long exposures (this isnt meant to start a debate, just a statement from my experinces) without a bit of post processing, and noise reduction software, but there are tradeoffs in everything.

That being said, astronomers use CCDs for the same reason that photographers do - much easier to work with and analyze. On that topic, I'll throw in one of my "long-exposure" shots that I took while observing at Palomar earlier this month (I'm an astro grad student). My small D70 has horrible noise after 30 seconds at ISO 1600, while the exposure I was taking at the time on the telescope was 30 minutes long and has almost no such noise (comparatively speaking at least!) :-D
