Excellent photograph Greg.
Very different to most starscapes.

Great shot, Greg!

[RB]

Very cool Greg !

[Rod771]

Unbelievable! Just goes to show you don't need new Moon and the Milkyway in the shot to have an excellent nightscape.

I love this part of the sky.

Very inspiring again Greg! Well done :thumbsup:

Beautiful composition and I agree with Rod, nice change from an arching Milky Way :thumbsup:

Another beautiful and unique photo Greg.

I think one of your best.

I love the look you give the stars.

If I may ask, is it in software or during capture?

Ross.

Thank you all so much for once again providing me with such great feedback on my work :D Always appreciated



I used the same technique during capture as I describe in this thread Ross: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=112112

Another Greg Gibbs special! Stunning!

[mbaddah]

Beautifully composed!

Did you enhance the bright stars in anyway to make them appear larger or was that an effect of the lens you were using?

[gregbradley]

A lovely shot. That reminds me I got a fog filter I have been meaning to use.

Greg.

[CapturingTheNight]

Thank you so much once again everyone (and Mikes wife) :D Much appreciated.


In my experience a fog filter does not give good results. I use a Diffuser filter.



Enhanced at the time of capture. I explain how in this thread: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=112112
