Nice work!!! Really nice work!! Great the way you managed to keep background clutter down in spite of this being a pubic event..and when there were things in the background they added to the pic and did not detract from it.. I also like the color enhancement...what was it you did?? Just cranked up saturation or is there more.. .adds an arty feel ..Good job!!!

Great shots, Boost_Lee. How did you get the sky like that? Polarizing filter? I like the strong saturation. It can be overdone but for this kind of subject you hit it just right. I Also like the sepia tint Mustang. But maybe that's because I still have a warm spot in my heart for pony cars.

Thanks! Yes, the shots were done with a circular polarizer filter and a bit of saturation was added in PP. We had about an hour of rain at the event and the skies opened up shortly after so I had to take advantage.
I'm really happy with the mustang shot. The sepia helps calm down the background a bit

Boost, what polarizer are you using? I have a little cheapo one I got just to experiment with.

I had a pretty nice sunset behind my house this evening. I couldn't get the rays of light coming out of the clouds to show up as well as I could see them in person though.
EDIT: Good Lord, photobucket's compression sucks! Can you guys recommend me anything else that stores the pics better without me having to pay $20/month?

As promised, here's a couple pics from earlier tonight. Again the focusing was an issue and most of my pics came out blurry since I couldn't see through the viewfinder very well. Anyway, here are two that I like, sorry for the huge pictures...

Flickr only charges me $25 per year, 47.99 if you get 2 years. As far as I can tell, my original files are untouched and the compressed files are pretty clean. I'm happy with them.

Compression issues aside, nice job on the first one. I like the color and you've managed to capture a lot of cloud detail without overexposing or pushing your ISO to high. The only nit I have is that I'm drawn to look at that lonely cell-tower and the foreground is a distraction in the amount it appears. I would either aim the camera lower to capture more of the foreground or higher to leave it out of frame altogether. Capture an interesting landscape and frame it with the stars or make the stars the star of the frame....
