I found Frosted Leaf this morning.
There was the Galaxy there.
EOS 5D MarkII
SIGMA 15mm F2.8 EX DG FISHEYE For Nikon
Nikon → Canon conversion adapter
ISO 4000
F2.8 → F22 & Focus ∞→ macro
48sec
November 6 04:20 of this year.
Only by one shot(None Composite)
photography method
(1)First setting is bulb mode and ISO4000
(2) Next setting is F2.8(aperture ring scale → F2.8)
(3) Next is focus setting on the star(focus ring scale→∞)
(4)Shutter ON
(5)30-50 sec exposure
(6)Change it for F22(aperture ring scale → F22)
(7)Change focus into a Leaf(focus ring scale→macro)
(8)light the Leaf with LED.
(9)Shutter OFF
I use the soft filter LEE soft No3
The question of many people.
It is a F2.8 → F22 change at an aperture ring.
The operation vibrates.
I took off the spring of the aperture ring and some parts.
The aperture ring is smooth.
Another means.
It will be good to put a black box on the lens front.

Another masterpiece. Love it. Why is the vignetting so strong on the left side?
Carles9 (31 months ago | reply)
nice to show how you do it, but with iso 4000 seems no noise there, how is that? thank you!

Joel deWaard (31 months ago | reply)
Beautiful! Thank you for the explanation as well.
masahiro miyasaka (31 months ago | reply)
Thank you very much for everyone.
There is little vignetting of sigma 15mm.
The I concentrated lighting it on the center which improves.
Noise reduction of Photoshop CS5 is effective for ISO4000. (^_^)V

The frosted leaf is the perfect symbol for this season and sky--brilliant and beautiful! Your description of finding the leaf but the galaxy being there is a great truth: the stars are the background for the impermanence of our daily lives. Wonderful!
