Congratulations Jayson!!! Assignment #71: Prime Time

[conropl]

I would love to see a timelapse of this over a an hour or so. You are giving me a yearning for fast glass

What I really wanted to do is a time laps with the Milky Way or northern lights over that waterfall. I have been think about that shot for some time now, but the full moon coinciding with when I could be there kind of put the damper on that. I thought of doing a time laps anyway, but my wife was with me and I wanted to make another stop... so I decided not to spend the night there.

I did a time laps of the milky way over a lake once. I spent most of the night and got the milky way sweeping across the sky so it was just coming out from the edge of the tree line and out over the lake. Then it got cold and my battery died. That was kind of a wasted night, but bought an extra battery after that.

A recently edited image. 35mm lens
Edit: Neglected the rest of the info. Used the prime for the colour rendition primarily as it was a cloudy day with rain coming and going. Wanted to keep as much of it as I could.

I'll include two shots, the first is my entry.

Taken on a business trip to San Francisco (terra cognita as I grew up in the Bay Area), I chose the TS-E for this shot to correct the verticals (and for a sharper image than the 16-35 II I also had with me would provide).

"Palace of Fine Arts"

EOS 1D X, TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II, 13 s, f/8, ISO 100


This one is a recent shot, taken on a nighttime photography workshop that was my first attempt at astrophotography. I bought the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 to give it a go (actually, I tried two copies, one was very soft on the left of the frame, the second copy was excellent).

"Milky Way"

EOS 1D X, Rokinon 14mm f/2.8, 30 s, f/2.8, ISO 3200

Thanks for looking!

I used a prime, the 100 mm f2.8 L macro, for the minimum focus distance. I had taken several shots with the 70-200, but could not get this shot until I used the 100L.

This shot was taken with the Rokinon 14 mm f/2.8. Selected for the uwa perspective and f2.8 aperture allowing a long enough exposure to capture the milky way.
