Really nice work here Spad, I'm impressed at your dedication too - all night! The 4th picture with the Milky Way, how did you manage that with the light pollution may I ask? I have been unable to achieve this of late, with the light pollution being my suspected reason. So many excellent pictures displayed here. Thank you for sharing them.

That image is a stack of about 20 images. I stacked them in Deep Sky Stacker the PP'd in PS. I also had a light pollution filter on. One, or in my case - several, is worth investing in. They're great for general night photography too.

On Wednesday night I was out on an all nighter. 7pm till 8am!

Here are the results, including two time lapse.

The next 3 are photo's of my K3 doing the sunrise time lapse vid!

Perhaps try two different photo's then. One with the stars over the low distant hills and just water in the foreground and a second photo of the building and sink hole during the morning, day or early evening, whichever suits your artistic taste best as this subject looks like it would be a very interesting subject in its own right. Probably suit monochrome as well. Just a thought!

Maybe some kind soul might loan you a nice new KIII Mono to experiment with.

They are composite images! I have 4 or 5 different foreground images...

The subtle ones seem to work best

I would give my left testicle for the mono k3iii

I tried all sorts....

Took one just before dusk...

Light painted...

Long exposure.... and several more ideas BUT....

They all lost the subtlety that it needed not to take the emphasis off the stars!

It kinda over powers the star scene....

Went for a quick play tonight. A couple of composite images captured then the cloud came in!

I have noticed that we can now post you tube videos!

So thought I would put this up from a coupld of months ago.

It's bit short but when I have the opportunity to do a longer one I will!

Last night I went out with the intention of doing some astro stuff... sadly I failed as the bloody weather closed my window of opportunity quicker than I thought!!

Well it was either that or the Weather Forecaster is a massive liar!!!

So as the cloud and fog came in it gave me another avenue to go down and play!!
