Not the best composition but I liked the lighting effects.

Very good, especially like the color in 2. HDR ?

Nope. Boosted shadows slightly but it's mostly the combo of moonlight and headlights.

I was really liking #1 until I saw #2. Both are nice but I really like what you did with that one.

Took this on as well. Better streak but no moon.

I really like #1, I understand the hype over #2 but the shadows and overall feel to the first one is much better for me.

What's the exposure on #1? Those stars are glowing. Nice pic.

10 seconds. I had to dodge cars so any longer wouldn't have worked.

These are awesome. Love the way the clouds have blurred slightly with the long exposure but how crisp the rest is

Yeah, I have to start wearing reflective gear. Bicyclist came withing inches of me the other night. Scared the shat out of both of us.

#1 is very nice. Beautiful rendering of the major constellations of winter: Orion, Canis Major, Canis Minor, Taurus, Gemini. Can see Jupiter, Sirius, the Pleiades cluster, the Great Nebula of Orion, Algebaran, Betelgeuse, Rigel. Good moon orbs as well. Well done.
