Nice work. I especially like the first image with its spectacular display of stars. Not even the leaning of some of the elements bothers me.

Thanks John, I appreciate the comments. I didn't like the leaning tree either, but it was lit pretty well and worked against the sky. There's also a bit of barrel distortion from the UAW that I should probably account for, but in these kinds of scenes I generally let it be, usually.

Thanks again for looking!  :)

I would really love to see you continue at this location... the elements you have at your disposal (ie: the windowless walls of building) and the wide open sky without too much else too tight in the perimeter to prevent you from some creative composition through lens placement and your comfort with capturing the night sky likes like a winning combo...

Thanks Patricia. This is a bit of ways from me, about 2 hours or so. I definitely would like to re-shoot this spot though, as the skies there are really dark and there's a bunch of neat stuff in the area too.

Thanks for checking out my stuff!  :D
