    Star fields over Grand Canyon

    A shot from last summer - an adventure that took us to the north and south rims over two days, and even somehow saw us return home with a new puppy. I don't have the EXIF info for this one, but an educated guess says this was: Canon 5D MkIII, Sigma 24 mm Art f/1.4 (shot at f/2.0), single frame exposure, 20 seconds, @ iso 2,000.

    Looks good. 20 seconds without trails is impressive.

    The stars are definitely more oblong than circular when you look at the full size enlargement. :) But the beauty of shooting in the 24 mm on down range, is that you can 'cheat' and get away with slightly longer exposures than say a 35, 50, or especially an 85 on up. Someday though, I'll get a proper tracker, drop my iso's, stop down into the 3.5-4.0 range, and up my exposures into multi-minutes.
