Night lights

August 18, 2020  •  Leave a Comment

My son Noah has always been a fine photographer—I guess I've had at least one good influence—so when he got a new 30mm lens for his equally new mirrorless camera, he wanted to field test it with me and see how the combo worked to capture the night sky. As soon as the heavens got pitch dark—the moon was just about new—we drove down to the corn fields, which have a wide angle view of the cosmos, and set up shop. Noah, using the most modern technology, got some wonderful shots. I, using "ancient" technology—a 24mm f/2.8 fully manual Nikkor lens from the late-1960s—didn't do so bad myself, as this image of Jupiter, the bright "star" in the center, Saturn, to the left, and an amazing array of night lights, shows quite handsomely.
