StarLink satellites
StarLink satellites in motion. Eventually, they will all take positions at programmed coordinates. The appeared out of nowhere and very suddenly, and obviously, you cannot autofocus on a subject like this against a dark sky.
So all I could do was manually set the focusing ring on the lens manually to "infinity" and hope the lens would pick up these spots of light. The Sony 50 f/1.2 can focus beyond ∞, so I ended up overshooting ∞ a little. The camera also set the exposure time to 0.5 seconds, which was a bit too long. As a result, I could not get the best focus.
By the time I set the shutter to a faster speed and get better focus, a big patch of cloud moved in, and that ended any hopes for getting a better shot :(
Still, an interesting image, and I thought I would upload it to flickr.
