Noctilucent Clouds, around 1am - Crieff across Strathearn from Auchterarder

This shot is wide open and focused on the center of the image, the base of the rightmost group of branches. The actual focus is about 4-6 cm towards the camera. This lens design experiences focus shift, with a close image like this focusing about 2 cm toward infinity for each f-stop closed. That implies that it will focus accurately somewhere around f/2.8 to f/4. Which may be pretty good, as the lens should be sharp there. However, when using it wide open I'll need to remember to step forward a couple inches after focusing. Further testing is required, I didn't use f/2-f/4 on this roll. Everything is great at f/5.6.

This boulder marks the intersection of two fault lines; a small one, running diagonally from top-right to bottom-left, and the Highland Boundary Fault, running front to back.

The zoom lens has compressed perspective, but for a sense of scale, the foreground rock in the right is maybe 15-20' away.
