I specifically bought the EF 24mm f/1.4L so I could get some decent night time landscapes. When I go out at night I can travel light with just my camera, tripod, 24mm lens, and an intervolometer. This lens along with a good high ISO capable camera can get some terrific night shots, and keep the shutter speed low enough to get nice stars without star trails. I was hoping to get more stars in this shot, but the full moon was to bright... so I used the nice moonlight to provide the lighting.
I would love to see a timelapse of this over a an hour or so. You are giving me a yearning for fast glass
