So this is my first time really trying to get a shot of the milky way and man did I underestimate how difficult astrophotography can be. Lighting the foreground was especially hard as well as properly blending the multiple exposures. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to trying this again with a darker sky someplace!
Another visit to our garden using a vintage lens (Canon FD 50mm f/1.4) on my Canon R5. NOTE: With this lens the minimum focusing distance is 18" at which point you have 1/4" depth of field.
Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.
Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!
Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?
I thought I would try out my 50 year old lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.5 SSC and Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on my Canon R5 with the use of the appropriate adapter.

Pretty darn good man!
Thank you!
Honestly done pretty well! Foreground could be better, but I understand the struggle of having to work with what you have. What lens?
This was a refurbished nikon 14-24. I've been back and forth A LOT about this lens vs the tamron 15-30. Haven't tried the tamron out yet for astro, but I've really enjoyed the Nikon so far!
Lucky you can even get that from your backyard! Just go out and shoot whenever it's clear and around new moon. Research light pollution maps, scout out your composition in the day time, or use Google earth if you're not able to.
