Shoot RAW!! The difference in post is amazing!! Get Lightroom. It is your friend.
Good advice.
Limpingcrab, that is a really nice picture. I would leave it as is, but(lol) if I were to crop anything, I would crop the tree on the left.
Nut again, I like that night time photo.
A word on memory cards, it's just not about space, it's about speed also as eKat said.
90mbs is pretty good.
I have started playing with timelapse(thanks to Yosemite Steve, and Shawn Reeder.) Anyone else do timelapse?

Wayno, glad you like it! And a bump for Ed's advice, pointing to yet another thing I knew absolutely nothing about and didn't even know that I didn't know about it. Now I understand why fancy cameras can save pictures as RAW format.

Kath- Why the focus on write speed? Have you had choppy video or missed the last shot in a sequence because of a slow card?

Gnome of the diabase. That last shot looks similar to my NH shot. Taken in New Hampshire?

x15x15,
On that Tahquitz shot, have you thought about orienting it in portrait rather than landscape?

PB, dig the composition on the TM shot. I know that shot. It has a lonely quality to it.
skcreidc, nice perspective on the Traitor Horn. I've not seen it from there before.

Thanks munge. It would not have occured to me, except that I was eyeballing Open Book and saw the guy straddle the horn. Photo op! Could have been framed better though.

Cool Survivlal! My first thought was Eureka Dunes, but I've never seen them from that angle.

Thanks Ed, I learned a lot about color profiles in there. To DonC's point, I calibrate my monitor regularly but it looks correct when I open it on photoshop and preview but on supertopo it looks funny. On facebook they look accurate too. Just some random sites it looks off, maybe it's just those websites I guess.
Thanks for the tips everyone else! I'll try to contribute feedback when I get a minute after work.

Hats off for the Climbing shot! The picture 's are so similar! mine is an older shot that I had saved and then resurrected. It is from the northeast, southern Mass or central Conn.

brodracula, that one on top of half dome is a time and place specialty.
Usually on something like that it is just 'shoot it and get out'
Was that on a cell phone?
Which model?
P&S? Which model?
Autofocus mode?
Shooting under storm clouds looking out to sun is a hard shot. White balance changes possible?
Snowhazed, too advance for me at this time. :)

Munge! Baby steps :)
NutAlloverAgain- The shot is on a Nikon D810 15 second exposure at ISO 2500. Aperture wide open for all astro. Lens is 24-70 Nikkor, no filter. This is actually one image from 600 image timelapse. They key is darkness, know your moonrise times and get away from the city. Motion control is helpful- moving the camera in the camera opposite the earths rotation gets rid of blur from long exposure. Also there is some very specific post production done in Lightroom to bring out the milkyway and reduce noise.
HDR anyone?
3 images, +/- 2 stops processed in sns-hdr and lightroom
