Awesome shots Todd.

Yes. How do you manage to get the sky and the church in relative good exposure. What is the process for these types of shots ?

Exposure blending, Im sure.

f8 @ 13 seconds, iso 200.

Thanks guys. Bohdank, I too dig your concert photos... I have yet to shoot a human with this lens, but it sure seems to work well for you!

The church (and all of my shots actually) are single exposures - basically high ISO, large aperture and under 30 seconds or so (to keep stars from trailing). They're really a stress test for lenses as you're shooting at the max for almost everything involved.

For lighting, I generally do a bunch of different light painting techniques using anything from incandescent flashlights that are diffused, LED flashlights, gelled and gridded speedlights, glow sticks, fireworks, you name it, depending on what I'm trying to accomplish or how large the subject matter is. It's generally a guessing game for exposure as there's so many variables but I've gotten pretty good at, at least getting close and then just dialing it in from there.

I must admit... 24 Lii on a FF sure is something else.

how would the pics differ if the lens was paired with a rebel
