A frosty scene with a snowy and hoar-frost coverered landscape in the evening twilight. Taken November 25, 2018 from home with the Venus Optics 15mm and Sony a7III. Luminar Orton and Nik Collection effects added in post.
The dark arc of Earth’s shadow rising on a crisp November evening with trees covered in hoar frost from a foggy night the evening before. This was definitely “blue hour!” This is a 7-section panorama with the 15mm Venus Optics lens at f/8 and Sony a7III at ISO 100, stitched with Adobe Camera Raw. A Radiance “Orton-style” glow added with Zone System Effects. I shot this from the back acres of my property in southern Alberta.
Venus near the star Spica in Virgo, rising in the dawn twilight as morning stars, on November 15, 2018. The trapezoid pattern of the constellation of Corvus is at right. Light cloud added the natural glows and enlarged Venus, so it really does look “big” here! This is a stack of four 10-second exposures for the ground to smooth noise and one 4-second for the sky, each layer processed to bring out the colours of the sky and ground separately. All at ISO 400 and f/2.5 with the Sigma 50mm lens and Canon 6D MkII. This is a good example of Rule of Thirds composition. I added an Orton glow effect to the ground.
