[QUOTE="Wahugg, post: 106125, member: 10685"] These pictures look pretty good! However I do have a couple of suggestions: First off, there is a lot of light pollution in these photos. Cars, sun glow on the horizon , possibly moon light pollution, and cities. All of these things take away from the vibrance of the stars. Make sure you wait an hour or two after sunset for the best photos, and try to avoid cars and city lights. But if you are influentially incorporating them then they are not an issue, vibrant stars just wont really be there. Also you apertures are really small. Open that baby up to let as much light in as possible! You can lower your iso an exposure times by doing this. There are almost no cons of having the aperture opened up to 3.5 or 2.8 or even 1.8 -Wahugg [/QUOTE]
