Night Skies (Dial-up warning)

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Chi and I were up, as he'd said before in his post, and while he was shooting on a tripod, getting the moon and the surroundings, I was handholding a 70-300G for the moon and leaving the 45mm pancake sitting LCD-down-lens-up to record the sky in all it's... err... starry glory... as that's something I don't often get to see quite as well living in Bondi.

I can see your dirty sensor. For some reason you managed to capture ALOT more stars than I did.

Your moonshots look nice, but you managed to cut half of it off. I suggest you recompose and move the earth a little to the left to get it out of the way.

Nice shots, Leigh. I'm surprised you could get them reasonably sharp with that lens and hand held!

Leigh you should be a surgeon if you can hold a camera that still and pull off a decent shot of the moon. :wink:
