Great combination of composition and color. VERY well done.

Great shot Santa. If you haven't lived there you can't appreciate its startling beauty!6/6

Star trails set across a high country pond on a cold crisp October

night.Five miles from the nearest sign of civilization , just me, my

Mamiya and what sounds like an army of Elk bugeling during there

rutting season. Tranquility at its best. Enjoy. Gary

Just a very eye pleasing sunset. Enjoy Gary

A just for fun shot, Shot a bulb for 50 minutes at F 3.5 the at F 16

for ten minutes. Rather striking effect in my own humble opinion.

Enjoy ! Gary

The night was cold. The atmosphere clear as crystal. The wind was

dead still, the urge to wait just a few more minutes to watch the Big

Dipper set was an oppurtunity I wanted to share with everyone, Enjoy.

Gorgeous, Really makes me long for the northland.

Marvellous shot.

Almost serreal. Absolutely gorgeous.

Marvelous combination of color and composition. Love it!

I found this photo be be very intriguing as the red from a distant

airports rotating strobe light saturated the film with its

coloration. This was a one hour time lapse taken between 10 and 11

PM. I like the effect, but I doubt I could duplicate it. Enjoy. Gary

The breath taking beauty of Northern Arizona's Oak Creek Canyon was

especially eye catching on this particular day as light haze from a

local forest fire casts an eerie hue to the uppers escarpments of

this already beautiful natural wonder.

Mike your doing fine. Just wait until it's REALLY dark. Also if your photographing something of light color , like the church, it will not only absorb light but also radiate it. So it will help to just show a portion of it in a corner when composing your picture, But a weathered building would give a better contast. I use either Fuji Velvia or Konica Impressa ASA 50 film, both will give you excellent results in capturing the night. Welcome to the wacky world af astrophograhy. Gary

Beautiful combination of color, contrast and composition . You only get so many sunrises and sunsets in your life time and each and everyone is unique. Bravo

I thought just for giggles I would try an 81A filter on star trails.

I Really like the results. I hope you do to. Enjoy. Gary

I absolutely love this piece. As a former Alaska resident it really turns up the " I want to move back juices" Thanks. Gary

Very good combination of composition and color .

A wonderful combination of composition and color. These are the kind of photographs that make it all worth while .

A meteor disintegrates as it enters earth atmosphere in the upper

left of the photo . No add ins or enhancements, Just nature at its

very best. Enjoy. Thanks . Gary

A US Air Force KC10 Aerial refueling tanker, on a night refueling

mission, penitrates the lower right hand corner of my star shot as

the small fighter jets waiting to be refueled hang to the rear.

Really a neat sight on one real dark night. Thanks

I was shooting star trails when the scene of stars dancing on the

surface of a small high country pond caught my eye, It was one AM,the

temperature was 30 degrees, I was frozen, but I had to give it a

try.A one hour time exposure . I'm glad I did. Enjoy! Thanks

Just to beautiful to pass up . The colors stricking. The ripples of

high altitude wind currents were just the icing on the cake. Thanks

I looked at this scene as I was waiting for the "right" Sunset and it

seemed as if it dared me to try to capture it. It was to bright, to

much in my lense, to much cloud reflection. So I took the challenge

and am not at all displeased with the result. Hope you like it.

No filters, no enhancement . just as it developed . Arizona does have

beautiful sunsets!A blazing sunset under darkened storm clouds!

This was my first attempt at astrophotography, A 1-2 AM one hour time

exposure in an urban environment .
