A Night Star Mountain Landscape

Very cool. What noise reduction software did you use?

I used the Lightroom 3 noise reduction which works pretty well. Much better than LR2. I also sometimes use Noiseware Pro which is still probably a little better that LR3 just because you have more options to give you more control.

For this shot, just cleaning up high ISO noise in the night sky LR3 worked very well.

Round two

OK, I re-shot the images a couple nights ago with clear skies. This time I toned down the mountains and hopefully did a better job with the masking edges. What say you? :confused:

This one has the shooting star added.

This one was not modified except for the blending of the two images.

The city lights add a lot of yellow and orange which I desaturated out of the other posts. This is more what it really looks like.
