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?

The Sun and the Moon: Edited to add last photo
I wanted to see how my 50 year old Canon FD 800mm f/5.6 s.s.c. would handle photographing both the Sun and the Moon.

Sterling in silhouette
I held a lighting workshop recently. Sterling was the model. I rarely shoot silhouettes but I wanted to incorporate that arch into a shot. Backlighting became an obvious choice.

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.
