First Astrophotography Shot

DSC 0029

Unfortunately, the long exposure test shots killed my battery before I could capture the lunar eclipse this morning. And, my backup battery was dead too. So, what I have is an overexposed 30 second pic.

Anyway, I wanted to share a test shot—this was 1 hour before the eclipse actually happened.

The photo above was shot and cropped from my iPhone. At least I got something. Lol.

Tokina 11-16mm F2.8

I just got my new wide angle lens. I’ve always wanted a really wide angle lens, and ever since this model came out, I’ve been eying it. Here are some test shots at the office.

Pretty bad ass. I have to give credit to Roger for recommending it to me years ago. Hopefully this lens will come in handy for my future trips.

As much as I love my iPhone camera, nothing compares to a real SLR with a big hunk of glass hung over the front.
