I only just looked at your link and just wanted to say that you have taken some great looking photos!
The K-1 is certainly great for night photography. I haven't done any work with my own lighting as yet but I certainly enjoy its capabilities along with using some old glass with character such as this:

Apologies, I have been traveling and up to my ears in work.

This looks really good. What old glass are you using with this?

Thank you!

Are you able to get aurora from Minnesota, out of curiosity?

Thanks! I heard you have a beautiful country, but sadly have never been there!

One exciting thing that's occured is that I have been invited to be a speaker at Night Photo Summit 2022. It's a total honor to be teaching alongside such giants of the night photography world. My presentation will be "How to Use Light Painting Angles to Create Detail, Texture, and Drama".

In this instance it was a Super Takumar 50 f1.4

It definitely seems like we will all benefit from your presence here. Great shots.

Oh, very cool. There's a lot of good glass with Pentax (I'm just scratching the surface of it here).

My go-to lens has been the 15-30mm ultra wide angle. However, I just did a night portrait shoot in Joshua Tree (I'll post some of these soon) and I used the 28-105mm lens for all the night photos. I used a Lensbaby Edge Optic 35 for some of the day photos.
