Celestial Alabama
The stars over rural Alabama are pretty amazing when there's no moon in the sky! I was out there doing some fishing this past weekend, and brought along the camera to try out some night shots. These cypress trees line the pathway to a small dock, on a lake that used to be used for catfish farming before being converted to a bass pond (there are some big fish in these ponds!). Learning to take better night shots is something that's been on my list of things to do once I upgraded to the full-frame camera. I'm very, very impressed with the low light performance of the new camera! Unfortunately my lens only stops down to f/4.0, so I'm more or less limited to ISO3200 or above to get an exposure that doesn't result in noticeable star trails. This equipment upgrading is just a never ending process - I guess now I'll just have to find a much faster lens for night photography :) I heard the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 is a good affordable lens for night shots - does anyone have experience with this, or any other good night photography lens? I appreciate your comments if you do!
