During summer I had the opportunity to try out the Nikon D750 with the kit lens (24-120mm) shooting the milky way, which was in a vertical orientation. Night sky photography is so special and so interesting. Next year, I hope to be able to capture the milky way at a less light polluted area.
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.

Nice photo! Who says a kit lens is garbage?
Nobody! It's a very decent lens and using it with a star tracker you are able to stop it down about a stop for a much better performance!
I feel like I've been working with kit lens all my life!
Great shot tho, I'd crop in the photo so everything looks more symmetrical :)
Cheers!
