    Default Psychedelic Karoo Dreams #2

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Earlier last year I posted an experimental shot where I slowly turned the zoom ring during a 30sec exposure of the night sky. (see here: http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...c-Karoo-Dreams)

    This is the other alternative - turning the focus ring!

    What do you think?

    Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8
    f2.8 | 30 seconds | ISO-3200

    Hi Morkel
    Interesting result.. Maybe you could have called it 'Alien invasion'??

    I think this needs some NR and it would look much better. The focus turn does add interest.

    Think we need to agree to disagree. I am fine with the noise in the image, it looks much better at higher res than it does here anyway.
