An hypocritical, empty and absurd compliment? That what you are talking about? You standards of what a good photographic image are not only low....its not existent and, yeah, that is YOUR problem. What you posted is not a compliment but an outright lie. Its this behavior what perpetuates mediocrity and such bad, bad images in this section. No matter what pile someone posts it will sure get a compliment by the likes of you and the usual bandwagon. The OP will go on thinking what a great "photographer" he or she is when in reality, he or she, is being deceived.... That, to me, is disrespectful but perhaps you couldn't even begin to grasp this concept.

And, obviously, you could not expand your comment from even the most basic technical point of view, no surprises there.

Willdell, have you tried to see what your skylimit is yet? How long can you expose for without blowing out your image, and what lens are you using? I am assuming you will be using a static mount not a tracking platform of some type. I have always read that focal length divided by 600 will give you your Max exposure length in seconds. If you are trying for trails the best advice is to limit the time between exposures to limit the dashed line effect.

Have you tried stacking exposures to bring out faint details?

Naw, that's the wrong direction.
I need a hole.
Wyoming comes to mind....

Too much foliage everywhere we landed on our family marathon run.
I couldn't see the sky for the trees.
Do they make a obstacle filter?
And while we are there, how about a cloud filter?
