Sunset at the Irakozaki Lighthouse, 100kph winds, cold as heck but worth the effort. Take on the A7r and the Voightlander 35/1.2 Nokton II. The black speck in the middle of the shot is actually a bird and can be made out quite well at 100 percent.
I spent 5.5 hours from 21:00 to 02:30 Saturday night freezing my __s off in -15 degree temps with wolves howling in the distance in the middle of nowhere to witness the most intense meteor shower I've ever seen - the Geminid. I saw between 150 and 200 meteors or more. Unfortunately I wasn't 100% prepared and couldn't do "Bulb" mode on my A7S yet (I couldn't get the star trails app due to the camera not having the latest FW and I don't have my remote yet - it's on the way! ).
I still managed to capture some meteors and Aurora Borealis and had a fantastic night anyway. Sleep in my truck afterwards was a bit chilly though... I'll process some more photos tonight but here's a couple - both taken with the A7S and Leica Tri-Elmar-M WATE at f/4, 30s, ISO 8000 for the northern lights and 51,200 for the meteor. The green in the meteor shot is the northern lights sneaking into the shot.
