My first astro shots!

Just got my Rokinon 14mm 2.8 in the mail last week, and finally got a chance to get out and test it last night.

This is with the 14mm and my 5D

nice looking shots

Heya,

I dig the first shot a lot. Mind sharing how you did it? One exposure? Or a composite of two shots? Also, what time of day there in Montana (I assume)?

Very best,

Thanks, don't mind sharing at all.

It was one exposure, 30 seconds f2.8 with the Rokinon 14 2.8 and 5D. This was at around 8:20pm, and yes, in Montana.

fantastic first-timer!

Hello,

I love your second shot - very eerie. Nice work.

Im just getting into my old passion of photography and have seen one other star trail shot on here..how can yo get such an amazing shot with a camera..
