Why ISO 100? The filter won't take care of all visible light, but if you tone down the sensitivity then won't it also be a bit less sensitive to IR as well?

Edit: A quick snapshot taken from my balcony before going to work. A bit more like it, I think...

F8 exposure time 20 seconds.
That's really neat! The tree has that ethereal appearence, and the rest of the scene looks relatively normal (I'd imagine that the colors are a bit off, but the viewers wouldn't know that). Looks like you've got it down, that was pretty quick!
