Hi everyone! I really love my night sky photography... and I enjoy getting some sort of landscape in the foreground for some substance. However, everytime I shoot this way, the stars come out very faint, and the sky ends up looking almost like it's day time.
My photos also always come out horribly yellow, which I have to process out via photoshop.
Here's an example (after I toned down the yellow saturation and increased exposure and decreased gamma)
Excuse the star trails! I'm still newish at it. Could it be all the ambient lighting? This place was so dark, I couldn't see my hand in front of my face but there are obviously lights hanging around. I want my stars to be more prominent and my sky to be darker.
