Our church at night with the Bigma

GSPeP

Several weeks ago I did some experiments with the Bigma on a tripod at night

This is the church in my village.

(f4 - iso100 - 50mm. - 6 sec.)


and at 500 mm.

(f5.6 - iso100 - 500mm. - 8 sec)


Both pictures are uncropped (is that a correct word:scratch)

The first picture is missing some sharpness. I was using an old tripod of my brother. I will have to do some more experiments .

The sky in that picture was like it shows on the pic: it was full moon at that moment and there were some openings in the clouds.

I tried to change location to where there is a wider view, but by the time I got there the clouds had closed up almost completely, and the effect wasn't that nice anymore.




A moment later there was an opening in the clouds and the full moon came through

yeah, I agree with Andy a firm *wow* on the clouds in the first shot!!!

Makes me wonder when I have time to do some shooting in Antwerpen It's only about an hour by car from me

Thanks for sharing!
