Yeah shooting anything in the high desert is like that except at dusk. Here's my same shots showing that struggle





Why would you a) shoot this at high ISO and b) filter the poo poo out of the photos you posted.
Why do you want the noise?

legit curious why you would shoot a night time long exposure at 12000 iso.
Unless your camera is mounted on a tracking tripod you have just under 30 seconds to get your exposure before star trails start. This is why I would shoot at 12000 ISO anyway, but I'm not OP.

That’s at iso 100 and as I said they don’t look nearly as noisy when not compressed on img. I’ll post a 100% crop later on Flickr to show.

Correct. Lower iso = less nebula being captured.

My office is in the front room of a run-down 12 megapixel sensor but the rent suits me and the landlord doesn't ask many questions.

Here's an ISO 400 Image from an APS-C camera posted on imgur. I don't seem to have a grain problem, but then again I didn't apply a mediocre preset to my image so YMMV

Since we all want to critique Bottom Liner's pretty nice photos, I'll say:

Too heavy on the grain.
Warm tones in the canyon walls look good to me on my monitor (factory-set Surface Pro 4)
Some of the bright greens are a little too saturated in the tonemappy, HDR-esque shots. A matter of personal preference on its own, but as a set they look out of place with the more naturalistic daylight shots.

Look, I’m not going to take a shot at a guy for taking some nice holiday snapshots of a place. If you feel good about them, that’s rad, I take heaps of snapshots when I go somewhere nice.

But I guess avoid the compulsion to share them all with us? Find a good one and post that. And if someone offers some brutal crit, roll with it.

Or, you know, throw them all in the Photodump.

Why does that feel like a composite to me? Not saying it is one, but the caterpillar and the dude+garbage bin look like they've been pasted in.

I think the excavator in particular looks unreal because we can't see the shadow it's casting, and the light on it is different than the light on the stuff behind it.

I think it's the lighting/shadows as well. The shadows projected onto the white sheet and the shadows cast by the bin line up, but the clean patch on the guys shirt who's in the bin makes it look like he's lit differently.

Yeah everything lines up, it just looks weird to me. Not necessarily in a bad way, my brain just doesn't process it properly.

That white sheet must be reflecting a ton of light.
