Absolutely LOVE this one -- the way the top of the tree is illuminated as if from the stars is just outstanding!

NCHANT - your photos are outta this world! I would love to know how you're making the stars have that blur to them though? Would you mind sharing in detail how this is achieved? Your work is so mesmerizing!

All, thank you for your comments and admonishments. I have removed the offending photo, so everyone can continue on to a better life, free from any forum violations.

I apologize if anyone's feelings were hurt or their feathers ruffled. It was not my intention.

Milky way over Borrego Springs, shot from Font's Point. This was my first night shoot with the Rokinon 24mm lens, was a little disappointed as it's just not wide enough for me.

It can never be too dark. However the view can be obscured if its not a clear night. Try and head out when its a new moon or when the moon hasn't risen yet or has already went down

Let us know what camera settings you are using and maybe we can give you some tips.
