Milky Way's Galactic Core at Tenerife: H-Alpha Modified Nikon D800a
Working with a focal length of 85mm was exciting and promising while the first test shoots revealed some extraordinary details of the galaxy’s dust lanes and nebulae. But if you work with such a sensitive and unprotected setup you never know how far you will get. With such a narrow lens you need many images to get a balanced good-looking Panorama - so there are many chances to mess up the whole project and go home empty-handed.
Mermaid Reef: Sony a7sii + Stack, Blend, and Composite
This photo is taken in Arrecife de las Sirenas, Almería (Spain) with a simple 61 seconds exposure, at ISO 5000. At 4 am in the place of the shot you can't see anything, it's all black, now you understand why these settings are so overstated. The lens used was a 14mm wide-angle at F2.8 to be able to capture a large field of vision in wide-angle.
