WOw dawg, very nice picturess, how did you capture all these stars !!

High iso, long exposures ??

And the last one....Wow, its the first time I see a picture like this

Its a star :O

When I get home Boily I'll post the original pic before processing of the star. I've wanted to shoot the stars for a while now but it took Carol on Easysharers to push me to find how to do it! I first thought that these were just noise but the way I do it does away with that theory! I load the photo into Photofiltre...then I hit the Gamma correction + button until I start to get noise...then I hit the contrast + button till the noise goes away. After that you hit one and then the other of those till you have it the way you want it! The info is there in the photo and this is just a way to pry it out!

Nice shots, Dawg. I like the last one. But, I'm wondering as to how you got one star so close, and the other starts look the same as in your other shots. :?

Edit: Just saw your post.. I figured it was probably some PP. :?

I cropped some on it En. I'm just now going to post some without any cropping!~
