Birthday Boy

I have a new Rokinon 24mm 1.4 lens--and I tried my hand at some morning sky shots. Mostly rubbish, but I think this is going to be a VERY interesting addition to the stable.

These are the morning stars, partly flared out by the rising sun. From the window, the sky looked totally black. It was strange that the lens found so much colour.

It was remarkable--the black night sky turned blue. I'm still fumbling around with this thing, but I think there are interesting possibilities.








I didn't take this on purpose, but it looks just strange enough to keep. There's a vaguely Darth Vader vibe here.
