That's for sure, I'll probably end up with a white image soon(((. Although I see bloggers taking beautiful shots even in cities. I'll likely have to switch to monochrome soon.

Ultimate will significantly reduce galaxies. I capture everything in a single exposure. I also blame my processing skills—they are extremely low)))
