Zokes – blown away by your pictures in particular.

Thanks very much – glad you and others like them! Though IMO others on here are far more worthy of praise than I.
The stars ones are pretty easy if you get yourself somewhere street-light free. Although I was in rural Oz when I took those, I was still in a motel’s car park on the edge of a town of about 6000 residents, so not pitch black by any means. I do need a faster lens though to avoid 30 second exposures at silly-high ISO – whilst the milky way may look good there, I wouldn’t print it much larger than A5-4 – far too noisy
For me, ginjaninja’s rock – simply because they’re extremely good examples of what would for most people end up as a very bland photograph. It’s a genre that completely eludes me despite periodic attempts.
