Well, it happened. The last transit of Venus until 2117. The viewing weather locally was pretty awful: all clouds and little sunshine. My dad's telescope was out, but saw nothing.
I paired my 400mm Nikkor (the old AI-S f/5.6 IF-ED version of the lens; not anything newer) with the D7000 and the Hoya ND400 (9-stop) filter, and I managed to pull out two shots between the clouds:

While the results were relatively meager, it was a successful use of the filter, and I'm looking forward to seeing what else I can do with it in the future. The weeks have been busy lately, and I'm hoping to get out to take more photos soon. I have been continuing to work on my raw workflow, too. More pictures after the jump.
Just a few shots of fireworks:
