Early october sunday hike to the mountain Fløya- named after the huge vane that was placed here to be seen from the harbour of Tromsø to guide the sailing ships about the prevailing winds further out in the open sea.
I was a bit bored last night and realized I have hardly used the Rokinon 14/2.4 SP. It's also been ages since I tried some star trails. So here you go, plane trails and all . . .

Excellent, Bob! That lens doesn't get much loved here on FM. I snagged one off the big auction site and I am actually pleased with its performance and use it mostly for astro photography or whatever it is called . The speed is decent, and being a MF lens with exif data are things I like about this lens. Not the smallest or the lightest lens but since I drove to this location, I didn't mind carrying it along and just put it on for this particular occasion.
here's a different dam on the same river: http://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4586/38673903381_a2f3618277_o.jpg
contax g 90/2.8 out a dirty airplane window again.Great airplane window photos! I seem to always either be in a good seat in front of the engine at night or a bad seat behind during the day.i'm always flying through on southwest, so i get to choose the seat (to the degree that one can traveling with children). sadly i've never actually spent anytime on the ground in any of these places since i was a kid.

Thanks Joshua. I've had the lens since it came out with the intention of using for Astro. I just haven't gotten around to it. But I think the lens is a sleeper. It's very sharp and outperforms the 14/2.8 in nearly every aspect. Here's the same timelapse stack but using the comet trail option in Startstax. The trails are much shorter but the blending seems to leave out some of the plane trails.
