Long Exposures with no Filters

[Zaf]

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything specifically about this, so sorry if it has already been posted!

I came across this article Long Exposures with no Filters and got me thinking...

The results look a lot better as the image averaging helps with reducing noise and no hot pixels from long exposures, plus will save me £100's on Lee filters!

So is anyone actively using this method instead or have tried it?

I realise it is used a lot in astrophotography but I am thinking more about land/seascapes etc

I never even thought of the latter D.P. good point!

I will be going on Safari in July camping and finishing at Victoria falls, so I was hoping to use this method for astro and vic falls... cliched or not
