Night More shots with the astrotracer

More shots with the astrotracer · **1 Like**

I was out camping earlier this month and had the chance to try out a new lens of mine the Samyang 16 mm F2. I really like how the lens renders the Milky Way subtle colours. Both images are 60 s exposure with the lens wide open. I was lazy and didn't take shots with astrotracer off to blend with the stars so the foreground is blurry.

Jupiter setting. Almost two hours after sunset and the sky is still blue!

Sagittarius at its best

Thanks guys for your kind comments. Indeed, the twilight seems endless at this time of year, but makes for interesting photos.
