Hi. Hello.

    Newer Older

    Hey friends :-) This is my new favorite star shot. It's grabbed me deep inside since it first showed up on the back of my camera. It's different for me because usually I am looking for things to ADD into the frame, not shoot with an empty landscape. But, at the top of South Sister, in a snow-filled crater there was literally nothing around! So, I tried some shots out and then was amazed to discover I loved the emptiness of it.

    New "style" for me, but I like it. I'm not finished processing it, but I really wanted to get a version up online for you to see.What do you think?

    This is shot on the new Canon 1Dx, ISO 8000!
    Also, heads up- on the trip this photo was taken, we did a big shoot off with the Canon DSLR's to find out which one is the best night shooter. Check out sample images, notes and winner here:

      Always breathtaking, Ben! Though am wondering if you could share if we could take really nice milky way shots with a 50mm f1.4 lens ? i hear that the camera body might be great, but its the lens that is more important?
