I don’t really have a particular shooting method. I always shoot Manual setting and spot metering.
If the scene is contrasty, I will shoot triple shot HDR exposures. Sometimes for panoramas I will stitch several portrait shots together in Lightroom or PTGui.
I usually post process through Lightroom, then Photoshop and Topaz sharpening.
My astrophotography madness continues. This is M51 Whirlpool Galaxy about 31 million light-years from earth and about 76,000 light-years in diameter! I think that smaller object above is an “interacting galaxy”.
