I too, dabble in the art of over-editing.
..actually, my 2nd time using photoshop; ever.
**edit: for you 'murricans; that's the Canadian parliament in Ottawa, taken from the Quebec side over the river (the back of it, basically). Equivalent to the US Congress I think.**

I've REALLY wanted to get into astrophotography for a while now, I just need to do some research and see what I need to get some awesome star shots. First investment would probably be a better camera

My reasoning is I wanna buy a new lens, but say a few hundred more then I got a new camera.. Back track and think can I afford FF lenses? Maybe/no. Go back to I wanna buy a new lens for my crop. Repeat.

Unless I stumble upon a good deal on a FF camera, then I'll just pick one of those up. Still can't choose between the D600 or D610 as of right now so until I make up my mind I'll just keep a lens purchase as my next purchase.

That's pretty legit. You must have edited that background into the shot though, right? It may seem like a stupid question lol.

It still looks pretty awesome, as does this one! I need to learn how to do that, I think I've got some good shots that a really dramatic background would look cool.

-- thanks! it's really simple to change skies on these kinds of shots because the horizon is usually pretty far away and it doesn't have to be too perfect. Sure you can google skies and find a big picture, but your best bet is to go outside on a nice day, a cloudy day, etc, and shoot skies yourself so you have them for your own composites later on and you don't have to deal with copyright and all that crap; it's all your own work.

Yeah that's a good idea. I've got some pretty good horizon shots too that would probably look pretty cool. I just need to play around with photoshop and practice doing it.
