Geez that 6D is good at high ISO

Thanks Hugh. The 6D is brilliant! I want a second one

I'm curious- Is this a conscious decision in post processing or a feature of the 6D in general?

Thanks Greg, appreciate the feedback.
You're right about the purple/magenta. I've noticed it myself a bit lately and it hasn't been entirely intentional but I haven't changed it much either. I had set the white balance to 4000 in camera for most of the recent shots because with the Nikon 14-24 on, the images all come out brown.

I'm also using a new laptop from my previous batch of images (from September last year), so the different screen is probably influencing my colour balance too.

I re-looked at this one and added a bit more green and it looks more neutral now, which is good. Thanks for the prompting! I've attached the update.

8 sec/ISO 12800 - experimental or necessary for this particular scene?

Fantastic composition and a great result, well done Mike

Thanks Rod, appreciate that. The 8s was more necessity because I was sitting in the passenger seat, leaning the camera against the door frame/window and trying not to move it during the exposure. I didn't have a stable tripod base or anything because of how close I had to get the camera to the mirror.

So I bumped up the ISO and reduced the exposure to get the stars sharp!
