Here are a few of my first attempt at some night scenes. Had a great location, about 20 miles from Kremmling, Co.

First shot's good. Second one's better.

Third shot is just the business! Fantastic! That's frame-worthy!

Nice shots. What lens?

My bad...probably would have been a good idea to put that up.

1st pic: Sigma 10-20mm @ 10mm @ f/4, ISO 100, 5 pic stack with each exposure 1-3 min.

2nd pic: Sigma 10-20mm @ 10mm @ f/4, ISO 100, 8 pic stack with each exposure 1-3 min.

3rd pic: Sigma 10-20mm @ 10mm @ f/4, ISO 1600, 54" exposure (wish I would have shortened this up to sharpen the stars and MW a little.)

Loving the last shot. Try it with a wider aperture lens and you'll really be amazed at the results.

The first two are nice, but a little blurry and the stars look a little dark.

Number 3 as others have said is fantastic, could have tried a stack on it, a group of shots for the starts to be lighter and then one of the cabin. Either way its a good capture!
