Tried a new moonlit night sky black and white conversion

What do you all think of this? I went up to engineer pass near Durango CO on a night that had ample moonlight. The exposure I got gave me a nice saturated blue sky (almost like it was daytime) but with stars visible (you can see a non black and white shot in my portfolio). I then upped the contrast and converted it to black and white and I really like the results, but I'm curious to see what others think of this approach! Anything you'd do differently from shooting to editing?

Vintage Lens

Another visit to our garden using a vintage lens (Canon FD 50mm f/1.4) on my Canon R5. NOTE: With this lens the minimum focusing distance is 18" at which point you have 1/4" depth of field.

Austin, Texas Blue Hour

Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.

Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!

Any interest in this group?

Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?

Vintage Lenses

I thought I would try out my 50 year old lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.5 SSC and Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on my Canon R5 with the use of the appropriate adapter.
