Sigma 20mm f1.4 art.
G'day all.
I have just started using the sigma 20mm 1.4 and have put a photo up for inspection.
Does anyone else use this lens for nightscapes and what are your thoughts on it?

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.

Austin, Texas Blue Hour
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!

Any interest in this group?
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.

Lovely image, good sharp photo with a tree as it's main focus on the planet. Just to make it that much better, try to use what you have there without the hills in the background, that would put focus on the beautiful stars that are very nicely taken. Very good image Dave.
Thanks for the feedback Stuart.
It is a tree not far from home, but the thing with it is, it is on private property, and I don't know who owns it. If the shot was taken at 180 degrees to what it is there would be other trees behind it and closer. So I'm making the best of a not so good situation. If I could find the owner and get permission 90 degrees either way may make the comp as you suggested if or when the MW traverses that part of the sky.
Regards
Dave
