The Milky Way!!! My first astrophotography experience - stitched together 10 photos, shot in Oliver Lee Memorial State Park in New Mexico (near White Sands).

Fabulous absolutely lovely. Only thing I would maybe say to make it more epic, I would say try to get some land items in there to give it a little more context. - Feel free to ignore me.

Ah thank you! And this is great feedback, I totally agree. This became readily apparent when I was watching videos on processing astro photos and saw how cool it is when you include a person standing before it (for example).

Nice! Did you go there this past week?
I wish! iPhone 7+ snap as I flew over in a 787 on my way to LA.
You can control the window tint like a variable ND filter. I thought it was cool!

I wanted to see what the B&W versions of my previous photos looked like. Here's the first one. Do you like the color or B&W better?

Colour for me. I'd try the B&W with more contrast, but that's just my taste.

I would also say colour for me too but I would like this with more clarity and contrast to make those rocks nice and dark.

I'm actually more of a fan of the B&W, but I'm fairly colourblind so may be missing some of the subtle colour toning from the colour version. Maybe some dodging around the tree on the right to add some more dimension to the image and lighten the area around the waterfall to the eye?

Who knows :p

Sat in my hotel room there now. It's 8:30 so will be heading out to set up an exhibition shortly. Better find some breakfast first.
