    Well, took the plunge,or should i say the "BITE".... Can you say mosquitoes!! Worse than any Alaska mosquitoes i've ever seen. The dang beasts would drink 40% deet, and still bite ya! It was amazing to see what the camera and lens could see, vs my eyes! Picked up a Samyang 24mm 1.4 F iso 3200 , IDX, F 2 15 secs.
    Lots to learn here, never the less a bright beginning!! Total manual, and trust the DOF Hyperlocal chart!

    Hey buddy the image is a little flat I added some contrast with an over all S curve and then used luminosity mask to further enhanced the Milk Way and added a small amount of sharpening. The mosquitos where something else I am ordering a bug shirt and hat.

    Hi Don - It's definitely addictive to try the night photography and I really haven't been happy with any of mine. This looks good and Don L has taken it up a notch. What's the structure in the image and is there a way to avoid it at the location?

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Don...very nice and Don L repost gives the Milky Way more impact...after making adjustments in ACR to my nightscapes I am applying a curves layer...but based on Don's luminosity mask I will give that a whirl too :)
