Five Portaits of an Arch: Milky Way

For the story behind these images, see Sunset.

 

This image is a 30-second exposure at ISO 6400 and f/2 and is one frame from the ~400-photo timelapse that I filmed. I used a Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 on my 5D2. I did some comparisons with a Canon 24mm f/1.4L II and concluded that the Rokinon has far less coma and slightly less vignetting than the Canon, despite costing half as much. Contrary to the conclusion of the Lenstip review, my Rokinon indeed a f/1.4 lens and produces images just as bright as the Canon.
