The second trial with Sigma 1.4 TC + 150-600 mm 5-6.3. Not as successful as I expected, but I think this is the best it can do with my system on a monopod, low light, and fast-moving object.
I'm still churning through my archives. On a personal note, my elbow is healing quickly, so I should be out taking photos again very, very soon. I'm really excited about that.
Anyway, this was taken this spring. I know I've said this to the point of cliche, but shooting here was fairly challenging. It can be really, really difficult to find good compositions when you're shooting landscape astrophotography, mostly because the primary foreground object and the primary sky object are immovable, unless you have the luxury of a forklift or the ability to wait 12 hours for the sky to move to a better position, neither of which happened to be available to me in this case. Or ever.
I was shooting uphill from this car, but I still wanted to get a substantial amount of the sky in my shot, all while shooting in landscape format. This required me to shoot two exposures, one that was mostly sky and a little bit of the horizon, and the other which pretty much had the foreground you see here. I then combined the exposures in PS, resulting in a final photo that's a little bit taller than the 2:3 aspect ratio I usually use, although it wouldn't take much of a crop to get it to 2:3.
I'm sure I probably blew my focus on those wildflowers in the foreground anyway, since I was shooting at 24mm and they were right in front of my face (and I had to get low because my foreground object was downhill from me), but the 25-mph winds and the fact that this was a 20-second exposure at high ISO certainly did nothing to unblur the flowers. But, honestly, they weren't really a part of my vision for this photo anyway.

AAW Challenge: Mystery Object
Will let you know what it is when the assignment is over and who was successful..
while roaming through the African bush, looking for plants I came across a small cemetery. Each grave had a number of small personal items of the deceased.
