Orion Sets For The Last Time In 2011
Posted in 5DMII, Available Light, Long exposures, sky on January 1, 2012 by budbranchThis was composited from 244 30-second exposures, f/4 ISO1600 taken between 10PM and midnight. Occasional traffic painted the trees with interesting light. At the center of the frame you can see the three, equally spaced bright stars that form Orion’s belt, and the light smear below made by his sword, (I’ve included a visual aid below…) Composite images like this are only possible because of Startrails software by Achim Schaller – THANKS Achim!

Sweet lens…
Posted in Canon S95, Macro on December 31, 2011 by budbranchWhen I upgraded my camera body, I orphaned this nice lens. Since I haven’t used it in a year, I decided to sell it to someone who can put it to use! It is perfect for any Canon cropped-sensor digital camera:
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens
