So...big stopper/small aperture fans, I am off to do some of this type of photography.
I have always been under the impression that stopping down reduced sharpness due to diffraction. Do you not find it an issue taking pics at F22 etc ? that picture from lakelord seems to have reasonably sharp trees.....

Yes f22 will introduce softness to the image through diffraction. f11-13 is ideal for landscapes. I can’t see the exif on Lakelords pic, how do you know what aperture he used?

F22, IS0 100, 20 seconds at 20mm, lens was a EF20mm f/2.8 USM

I'm not sure if I've posted this before but it is my first time posting from Flickr.

Stopping down past f/16 has very little use really. The only time I would is if I found myself without filters and needed a longer exposure. Struggling to think of any other reason?

Just to satisfy my curiosity I just did a reasonably unscientific test with a ISO 12233 chart on my Tokina 12-24, it was sharp but low contrast at F4 with slight CA, sharp and almost perfect contrast from 5.6 to 8, slight dropoff to f13, noticeable loss of sharpness at f16 and getting bad at f20 and f22. My results seem to tally exactly with DXO Mark's measurements for this lens.
However looking at the pics at 1024x700 ( typical web resolution ) even the worst results ( 24mm at f22 ) were hard to discern....you are talking about the border of a black hard line going from 2 pixels wide to 4 pixels wide. At F16 and web resolution, almost indiscernible.
Skye at night by ChrisMarr, on Flickr
Taken on my last night in Skye , just behind the hotel i was staying in . I've never really done any photography at night so i was really pleased with this one .
