Our church at night with the Bigma

[GSPeP]

Several weeks ago I did some experiments with the Bigma on a tripod at night

This is the church in my village.

Both pictures are uncropped (is that a correct word:scratch)

The first picture is missing some sharpness. I was using an old tripod of my brother. I will have to do some more experiments :D.

The sky in that picture was like it shows on the pic: it was full moon at that moment and there were some openings in the clouds.

try some varying compositions? I tried to change location to where there is a wider view, but by the time I got there the clouds had closed up almost completely, and the effect wasn't that nice anymore.

A moment later there was an opening in the clouds and the full moon came through

Makes me wonder when I have time to do some shooting in Antwerpen :D It's only about an hour by car from me :D

Thanks for sharing!
