Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hi,
I've been meaning to do this for a while now, finally got out at night on Saturday. I went to the Awabakal reserve at the Trig station. It was pretty clear night, but the moon was out, so not as much stars are visible.
50mm f1.8, 20sec iso 1600
I wanted to have the trig in the photo a bit better and because of bushes around there, couldn' t really get far enough, so I put on the kit lens and got this one.
18-70mm f3.5, 20sec iso 1600
I think this one comes out much nicer, with the trig in focus. You can easily see the Southern Cross, even managed to get a plane flying by.
I processed the images through bibblepro and applied the Noise Ninja element on it, it cleaned it up nicely. I'll have to go back and take a photo on New Moon.
C&C welcome, always,
Cheers,

The image with the trig in focus is the better one for sure. I would try NOT to get aircraft or satellites in these type of images as it really stands out.
From the brightness of the sky I gather there was a lot of light pollution. If you find somewhere that is darker you will actually get the true colours of the stars, rather than just the white light (I think this has something to do with the light being so stretched out it appears white, and if you have the shutter open it allows 30 seconds of light in, which gives colour).
Dark places are generally anywhere outisde the greater cities. If you go far enough out west (if your in NSW) then the night sky is inky black and the stars look extra bright.
