A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

That's a pretty great star trail. It must of taken ages to stack the 85 images.
About 20 minutes with my cheap and old pc. Can't imagine processing 300 images like some of the crazier star trails I've seen.
I think the star trails look spectacular. The only CC I'd give is the foreground is a little bright and not not as interesting as I'd like it to be. But, of course, not every location offers an iconic skyline to work with...
Hello Jake, I think the problem with this kind of shots are the blurred trees. Also the colors are too much vivid to be consistent with a night shot. The last thing I can say is that,normally, I prefer to not cut any object in an image,in this case, the base of the trees. Regards
