Maybe a tiny bit off topic but I was looking into those cool star trail videos and how they are done. Turns out, it's easier than I first thought...
You don't need a moonless night, use it to light up a bit of foreground interest. Taken under a Quarter moon behind the tripod.
1 hour 240 files @ 15secs f2.8 ISO400
I am actually interested in this lens as a landscape and then wide angle for weddings.
I usually shoot 35/85 but 35 is sometime not wide enough and 85 a bit tight, especially if indoors.
I am thinking a 24/58 combo with a 70-200 either F2.8 or even F4 in my bag just incase, for when I really need length. Would be interested in any thought son the 24. Couldn't find much in the way of flickr groups to look through sample? Anyone seen anything?
Looks a nice lens. What would you do with attaching filters as the hood is built on? The nikon 20mm and 24mm have screw threads don't they?To be honest I'd never heard of it until I read the fstoppers review of the new Sigma 20mm, which indicates it's another great 1.8G.

20mm is too wide for me but a reasonably priced (compared to the 1.4) 24mm would be perfect to accompany my 58mm.

After a long slog up at the NEC, I finally managed to pick up the camera again ... It`s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

It's the Siggy. Maybe the lights were onion shaped...
Do they make your eyes water tooIt's the Siggy. Maybe the lights were onion shaped...
Oh, OK. I didn't think the Siggy gave the "rings" inside the OOF lights.
Normally I like the bokeh off that lens.
Maybe it's something to do with the lights after all !

Onion rings innit.
Not unusual for fast primes against light like that, even the 58.... under normal shooting you wont see it.

Looks like i dodged a bullet there...
Thanks for that.
I've never shot fairy lights before, maybe I should !
Might be something to do on a rainy day.
That looks a higher quality of Onion
Tbh its not an interest of mine either. Ive not seen it in any of my shots even at 1:1 under normal conditions.
Some will know I've been trying to get my head around 'product' lighting, and thought I'd jump in at the deep end with nice reflective glass bottles . Doubly tricky in that I only have one speedlight and one softbox so in order to get light from both sides I have to take two shots and stitch them in photoshop. As I don't have a reflector or anything like I had to light the front of the bottle using the pop up flash diffused with kitchen roll
Anyway far from perfect, just a bit of fun

Oops. Burnt the credit card and picked a D750 with 24-120 and a Sigma 24 f/1.4 this week...

I have to say that I like the shot a lot, but dislike the "bokeh", as it is a bit "onion-like".
Can I ask what lens? I know it's a 35mm f1.4, but which one?
