You're running yourself short mate.
These are excellent.
The old things of a bygone era really makes these.
I gather you've a known location for these then just wander off at appropriate time.

Keep them coming

I'm loving your sky shots, while I'm thinking the light intensity
on some of the ground-based objects are a bit too much
for the overall scene.

I honestly DO like the juxtaposition of the antique machinery
against the timeless night sky, while I'd prefer a bit less light
on the Earthly objects in order to attract the viewer to
the well-captured night sky.

Just my opinion, and probably a minority one.

Does anyone else find this reminiscent of Sam the Hawk from The Muppet Show?

I do agree with your statement the last one especially as the ground is very bright and I probably will do a edit on it
Thank you for your input

Have you ever seen the work of Richard Tatti? He is a night scape artist also based in Australia. Many of your scenes look similar to his. You should look him up, you'd probably find you have a lot in common.

Thank you I know Richard and he is a inspiration to me I hope one day to be as good as he is with nightscape images

To me it’s a colour temp issue (minor issue, your images are great). Personally I’d like to see the sky cooler and the light that is lighting your subjects warmer. I use a F+V z96 video light to illuminate night objects as it has an orange filter on it. That then means that when i shoot the Milky Way at a temp of 3700-4200 the subject looks correct and the milky way is a good temp and looks blue and not orange.

Take what I say with a pinch of salt though as I’m no expert and only do this on occasion. If you google f+v z96 Milky Way light painting you will find some info about it though

Unfortunately the orange clouds in my last 2 shots is light pollution from a town about 45 km away

Ahh ok. I’m well accustomed to that issue too where I live hence the Milky Way shots being occasional for me (can barely find a clear sky during new moons!)

As I said, really enjoying your images so don’t take what I said the wrong way

Thank you for your input and I did not take anything the wrong way I look forward to input so as I can improve as there is always something to learn and what I learnt is I still have a lot to learn

Another one from my Nightscape series (Hope I'm not boring anyone )

Nope
Keep them coming.
I see them as beautiful night scenes with starry skies.
I'm not a fan of some setup night scenes but this ticks my boxes.
We're all different and wuth different preferences
