Very nice.

I'd consider cropping out the lower pool of water, but otherwise "what Guido said!"

Well done. Could you share the exposure/making of details? It seems that some star trailing is visible, but that is a minor detail.

Totally agree, every part of it, adds to it.

I have never done any night photography, so forgive me for my lack of knowledge and understanding on the subject, but the rocks in the left foreground look a little soft, so is this just a 'thing' that happens with night photography and the amount of NR that is needed to process the file?

I really don't mind the rocks or any other part of the shot looking dreamy and silky BTW, as the whole thing works really well, but I just wondered that if I ever did venture out at night to do some night photography, as opposed to wrapping everything up as soon as the sun has gone down, that if this is just one of those 'things' about night photography that you have to work around?

Thanks for any info Luis

Hi Dave, thanks for your nice comments.
Yes, the image is a little soft, partly due to NR, and partly cause maybe f:2,8 was not enough, though I'm suspecting my lens maybe is a little axis skewed.
The correct procedure might be do some kind of focus stacking, merged with two different exposures for rocks and sky.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I am currently using the Loxia 21, but the Laowa at 15mm is in my radar.

I owm also Tokina Firin 20mm f2, and looking forward to buy Loxia 25...

Thanks for that great tip Luis and yes I can definitely see the benefit of doing something like that myself, because I could then use a relatively short exposure for the sky and the stars etc, but then combine it with a much longer exposure and also a much deeper DoF for the foreground detail.

Yes I will definitely store that juicy titbit of information away and use it at some point in the future, so thanks again Luis
