Re: [APML] Star Trail colors??

Scott, I think that is a great star trail shot! I found it was pretty bright on my screen and of
course 2 hours at f2.8 would be, even on 100 ASA film. I found that a gamma shift to darken the
picture in Photoshop made it look better - the colours come out more. In the version posted some
colours are a bit washed out. Anyway, it is a thought - try it and see if you like it better with a
darker background. Either way, it is a winning shot!
