Yes kudos, I especially like the one with the waterflow on the right.
Like to ask the general location.

Thank you.
My friend had a light with him that we used at the base of the 'waterfall' (very temporary and created by snowmelt). This was on Independence Pass, Colorado.
Second shot is me driving down Cottonwood Pass, Colorado with my car.
Third is in the Snowy Range, Wyoming.

Great shots from both the 5Ds and M5 Keith!
I picked up a Rokinon 12mm f/2 lens two weeks ago specifically for night sky photography. I took some shots with my M5 and the new lens last week in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I'm still very much a novice at night sky photography and my previous attempts have been pretty poor, so these were a step forward for me even if not very good.
This one has some unintentional light painting - a truck passed by on the lonely highway at my back during this exposure and lit up the trees in front of me. The highway curves so the headlights did a pretty complete sweep of the area.
20 second exposure, 12mm f/2, ISO 800, M5

Keith and I are using the same camera's if not lenses...
Here is one with my 5DsR and 16-35 f/4 IS, also in the UP, west of St. Ignace looking over Lake Michigan. There was a little wind, so some movement of the leaves of the birch tree if you look closely. Its amazing how many stars you can see once you get away from light pollution! The night sky was really spectacular.
f/4 is a little slow for night sky photography. I will probably need to pick up a Rokinon 14 f/2.8 at some point if I continue with star photography.
25 seconds, f/4, ISO2500, 21mm 5DsR with 16-35 f/4 IS

I live in Colorado Springs and usually it is way too bright here with the light pollution to capture the Milky Way. Once in a while we do get some inversion clouds and the low clouds block the light pollution and therefore making some night photography possible.
Milky Way over North Cheyenne Mountain (NORAD) right at the edge of Colorado Springs..
Close up of the mountain. A still from a timelapse where the motion of the clouds looks like waves..
Few weeks ago I almost got my perfect shot of the Milky Way right over Pikes Peak. Got there and was able to take two photos..
Before I got fully engulfed in the fog for the rest of the night. Third photo of that night; taken about 60 seconds after the previous photo..
