Last summer Sean Goebel (fellow FM member) and I went on a backpacking trip to Mount Watkins in Yosemite National Park to shoot star trails, the Milky Way, and time lapse of another friend Wade Meade climbing up Half Dome at night. In addition to the time lapse, there were three still compositions with the Cable Route lit up.
We entered my version of the star trail shots in the 2017 Insight Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition and we won 2nd place in the "People and Space" category! The winning image is the close-up view, taken with an A7r and 100mm Zeiss Milvus F2. 8x 8 minute exposures stacked, ISO 500. I think it was F2.8
The wide view is with the A7r2 and Batis 25mm, also 8x 8, ISO 800 F4.0
Vertical milky way is 176 15 second exposures for the land stacked and averaged, 1 15 second exposure for the sky. Rokinon 50mm 1.4 on Canon 6D at ISO 12,800. (I think F2)
Check out the time lapse video that Sean put together. It's awesome.
I wrote a little blog post about it which has more photos from the trip.
