Description

Late last night, I took the Dog's for a walk, and was looking up at one of the most amazing night skies I have seen in Many months. Canyonlands is about as far from civilization as you can get, and also sits at around 6000 ft elevation, so the air is thin and clear. The Milky Way was streaking across the sky so brightly. I've been wanting to try this for months, I figured it was the perfect time. Last year, I tried this with my 50mm f1.4 lens, so I only saw a small part of the sky. This time I put on my 15mm fisheye, so I could see practically the entire sky. Aimed the camera straight up. F-stop wide open. Here's what I got!
I love this camera!
ISO - 1000
Exposure - 1 minute
Aperture - f2.8
This one really MUST be...
