Description
yesterday I saw I clone out the stars thinking they was dust on the film. I looked at the photos I got and it do not tell much for the are small. But I noted the dust spots in the sky to look diff than the dust spots I used to like if they was in the dark trees or the water. That is when I know they was the stars. My camera was set on auto shutter speed and it was staying open for a long time to get the lighting.[put camera on a tripod and put the timer on so my hand will not move the camera]
I did have to use the levels to bring out the colors a little more to a nature look for the sky was blown in the prints and film too. I scan the film for these images at 350 hope I doing right I got to check on this. I do get dust on the film and all so i have to clone out the dust.
But like I say the stars looked diff than the dust spots; so I got to clone out the dust marks.
Got to find a way for removeing dust off film.
thanks for looking and comments

the sky was a little darker than this but I think the long opening of the lens have caught the stars. I could be wrong and it is dust
Wonderful scene and sunset!!! My opinion not too dark the sky!!! Great shot!!!
A brilliant shot with this lovely light setting! Bravo!!
I love it and only wish you could enhance the Moon a bit more. One thing you could do is clone out the moon and use a photoshop brush to place another moon that shows up a bit more. Other then that its a greate picture. What kind of trees are those would love to find and use in models like them in Bryce
Fantastic light! Super shot!*****!

~~This Capture Is Wonderful...Great Going Jocko!!~~
Utterly wonderful, my friend! The time exposure created a lovely ambiance. As for removing any dust or imperfections, Photoshop has all kinds of filters to perform the task.
Oh yeah, I've done stuff like that...rubbing out details, thinking it was a fault, when in reality it's mean't to be there !!! two kool versions though ~Cheers~ :o)
