The trees look cut out

Nope. Everything you see here was in the shot. No add-ins.

Oh I know. They just look cut out.

Is it the fact that the trees are RED for goodness sakes?!

I have no idea, just a guess....

That's what my guess is as well.
It's a really good photo!

That's what I was going to say too.

X4.
That some of the trees are shaded.

Is it that tree covering the nebula?

No. Composition-ally speaking, I'm very happy with it. (That's the eastern limb of the milky Way b-t-dubs )

Is it the fact that the trees are RED for goodness sakes?!

Also no. Deliberate. Ground lighting conditions made the far trees red in the exposure, so I was playing with some lighting on the close up trees to match.

A good guess, but no.


The REAL answer is, the stars are not perfectly crisp. My focus was a tiny fraction off, and then adding a de-noise filter made them soft.


This is a single 15 second exposure. I had a 3 color LED light and was using the red as a hand-held fill to get the red color on the foreground trees. The back ones are a bit more orange because of the yellow-orange low ground path lighting at the campsite we were staying at.

Here's a different angle where you can see the light I was working with.
