Random Nightscape Selection

[ath]

Here's a few of my recent nightscape photgraphic adventures, none of my mates are really into the whole astronomy thing and I've been somewhat happy with my skill progression (and the clear skies) lately and thought they might be appreciated here. As always, comments and criticisms welcomed! Thanks for looking.


Here's a few that didn't meet the filesize requirements for attachments:

Not so much a 'nightscape but a 'scape' nonetheless, taken onboard a Melbourne bound flight from Adelaide.

Neat idea for the pic with the gate in it - I see the dew on the gate wire and the moisture in the air ... adds good feeling to the picture. Makes me think of a cold damp winter night. If there was more stars/sky visible it would help give appreciation to the fact it's actually at night, which is otherwise somewhat hard to tell.

:thumbsup:

Great looking photos Andrew.

I like the "daytime" look and POV.

Well done Andrew, the composition of the first image is excellent!! That one belongs in an Art Gallery. Lots of detail in your Milky Ways, try cooling down the color balance for remove some of the brown tones in the sky. But otherwise great shots all round :thumbsup:
