The Ultra Wide Angle Thread

[spiraleyes]

With all the recent posts about people getting new WA lenses I thought it would be fun to start a thread dedicated to ultra WA images. Feel free to add your own wide angle images to this thread, and tell us what lens, and what focal length the image was taken at.

This was taken last night at 12mm.

I LOVE that shot. Star trails are definitely something I want to learn how to shoot. What are the EXIF details for a shot like that?

Thanks.

This image is actually 5 shots put together to make one. I used four 20 minute exposures to get the trails. Then I used about a 1 minute exposure and a 2 million candle power spotlight to paint in the FG for the 5th exposure. All shots were taken at f/8 and ISO 200. (I should have opened up a little more.) I didn't see the moon at all last night, so I may have been able to get this all in one single exposure. I was hoping for another clear night tonight, but no luck.

I often wondered how you'd be able to expose for so long without the light completely overwhelming it. I never thought about combining exposures. The spotlight effect really makes the shot stand out as well. Good call.

I think I'm going to try a lot of this when the weather warms up and stays clear. :thumbsup:
