Took these a few nights ago near Rhyd-Ddu in Wales and thought i'd share. Despite being in the middle of nowhere, there's still a fair amount of light pollution around unfortunately.
ISO 6400, D700, 30 seconds and a nice clear sky![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Same spot as above, same settings, but this time I left the camera on continuous mode and I drove up and down the road hoping to get some light trails. But the ones with trails at 6400 were just blown out too much, whereas this one I preferred.

Looking over a lake which was behind me for the above shots, a 10 minute star trail.

And finally, from the edge of the lake in Nantlle. I wanted to get the gentle mist which was on the surface, but my million-candle torch just ended up lighting the place too much for them to show as well as giving me enough exposure for the stars.
