A7rM and Contax G45 .jpgs,
BTW....Love this lens!!
A few from the local church by me. They have a cemetery in the back, with tombstones from the 1800s. I only snapped a few, but I'll go back eventually:
The images here seem to go in waves, each wave competing with the one before. Great photos from everyone and a great demonstration of lens variety. I love the mix of old and new lenses on this thread.
This is another desert photo late in the day with the clouds gathering. I was not paying attention and and shot this landscape with the A7RII and Sony FE 24-240 at 24mm wide open, not the best settings for this lens and not my normal setting for landscapes. That's for sure. I had to crop out some narrow, but intense, vignetting in upper corners and I had to do some perspective correction. I still got a lot of depth of field at F/3.5
Drove an hour (one way) to get away from the city's light pollution. No interesting foreground, but the sky certainly had a show to perform I'm definitely not a pro at this, but wow what a difference a nice dark sky makes Lovely in person.
Unsure I agree with the 600 rule, as 20 seconds was still too long for my liking (when pointing the normal direction and not zenith) and I could notice the star trails slightly (28mm lens). 15s was okay, 10 was best.
Photo taken October 19, 2015 about 16 minutes after sunrise, Big Meadows, Shenandoah NP, Virginia. Image taken with my tripod mounted A7r and my Leica M 90mm f2.5 Summarit lens, ISO 100, lens set to f11 for 1/25 second. Processed in LR6.
