Please read!
This Image was shot using an old Meade-telescope adapted to my Canon 80D. It lacks sharpness for that reason and is extremely grainy due to the F14 Aperture and high shutter speed needed to counter any vibration.
Regardless of all these technical problems, I really liked the experience of shooting 1450mm literally on the other side of a lake (~100m), that's why I kept the phone in the picture which was the only way of communication with the model (as focusing for each pose needed about 2 minutes of trial and error).
It was a real challenge in the best way possible and something we could only think of because of the distance-regulations we currently face.

The photo is nice, but look of these knee caps is killing me.

Thanks for the feedback - wouldn't have noticed that part at all, but I get what you mean.
