87 Oct 25 Comment WOW! Thank you, Will! I had ordered a wide angle lens, but it didn't come in time. I hope that at some time we can attend a dark sky festival and try again. I will plan better ahead. I do recommend PhotoPills, because I was able to follow it over time and move my camera, so I got more images than I would have otherwise. Thank you again for all your suggestions. I will go back and try to edit them with what you suggested. Thank you. Oct 31st

87 Oct 25 Comment Thank you for your comments. I had looked up various ways to photograph the Milky Way, and I used the information I found to work toward this image. The exposure was 30 seconds. I tried shorter times as well as longer ones. If you really zoom in, you will see that the stars are not as pin point as I would have liked. The original site was to be by the Buffalo River in north Arkansas, but the weather cancelled that trip. My second choice was this one-we own some land in the country away from light pollution. Had we been at the Buffalo River, there would have been different foreground elements. I did use photo pills to see where the Milky Way would be at what time. That was a big help. I did move the camera around as the Milky Way moved with the earth's rotation. That was my first time using photo pills, too, but it was a big help. Oct 14th

87 Oct 25 Comment Jennifer, another winner! What a catch! The colors are so ViVi with the contrast of the impending storm and the solemnity of the wedding. I noticed the conch shell behind the groom. Did they blow in it after the ceremony, or was it just there? Beautiful! Oct 5th

87 Oct 25 Comment You achieved your goal. I'm drawn to the one in the center. Good sharp image. Oct 4th
87 Oct 25 Comment The image has so much color and texture. The image is sharp. You can really see the suckers. Not sure I would want to eat that, but Ido not experiment with my food!!!! Oct 4th
87 Oct 25 Comment It is an interesting image. The colors are vibrant in the candle juxtaposed to the muted colors of the orchids. I would, however, remove the molding in the top left. I go back and forth between removing it and leaving it, as the diagonal add to the geometry of the round candle. Oct 4th
87 Oct 25 Comment I think the more lighter background allows you to focus on the hummers. I appears you removed one. Also the edited hummers do not have the rich colors as in the original. However, your focus is very sharp. As one who hasn't gotten a good sharp picture, I salute you. Oct 4th
