spent the night sat in the peak district national park in the dark with only a few sheep for company and a selection of torches(flash lights) 2AA LED maglite, 2 and 4D normal mmaglites and a 1million candle power hunting light. long exposure and i ran around with the torch painting with light. i did mask in a bit more light of another shot on the blue tinged foreground rock.

it was torches(flashlights) in my hands an LED little maglite the blue one and a big 4 D maglite the yellow light. i dont really know post porcessing so i messed up i think, i tried to layer mask in the rock at front to get a better light but somehow messed the sky up juliboc says
with hindsight i should have maybe masked the light tails into the second picture as the sky etc is much better on the second image, live and learn though
heres the original straight out of the camera
heres the one i used to try and light the front rock better
not sure how i messed the sky up :( pretty disappointed with the score, average vote from participants and commentors was 7 non participants was 5.8? best photo ive taken for a while but obviously not glossy enough, better start learning all about post processing to get the DPC look.
this from the same night was my alternative choice
here are all of them from this set //www.flickr.com/photos/cyberprop/sets/72157627666890159/
This looks like science fiction. Very unusual. The stars are odd -- dotted lines rather than the usual star trails from long exposure. Is this HDR from multiple shots?
