This was the second visit I had down to the covered bridge at the Kickapoo Valley Reserve. I shot towards the North with this one and after 550 images and about 2 hours and 40 minutes you get a beautiful star trail. :) Canon 6D Irix 21mm f/1.4 ISO 3200 13 sec www.instagram.com/UH82NVME #astrophotography #irixlens #irixexpedition #irix #UH82NVME #UH82NVMYPHOTOGRAPHY #startrails #bridge #nightscape #astroscape #canonbringit #universetoday #longexposure #creativelighting #litbylume #captureforcubes (at Kickapoo Valley Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmN6X8MudKw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A little astro wedding action. I know we're just about out of milky way season but still shot under the beautiful stars. :) Canon R6 Irix 15mm 10 sec ISO 6400 f/1.4 #Irix #irix15mmfirefly #irixexpedition #canonusa #wedding #weddingphotography #weddingdress #astrophotography #gibraltar #gibralterrock (at Gibraltar Rock State Natural Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkElyo-Lf8k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One thing I absolutely love about creating this group is the many many many MANY people I've met over time. Last night proves why. I was out shooting the Milky Way when I get a message from Kevin Roylance to tell me to look to the North.....well....I have him to thank for this! I didn't see the aurora dancing behind me but I'm sure thankful he sent me the message to let me know. So again, thank you good sir!

I shot this as a comparison between two Irix lenses. The Irix 21mm Dragonfly and the Irix 30mm Dragonfly. I thought about doing the 15mm as well but it was running a timelapse that I didn't want to stop....then the clouds rolled in so....I'll save that for another time. 😉 These images are shot with the same settings, same camera and edited with the exact same settings. I know I could edit them better but I was trying to give just a general idea of the focal length difference and overall look of the images produced by each lens and didn't want to get too involved with anything. Keep in mind neither of these lenses have a lens profile in Lightroom yet either...so they should only get better!

So just like with the Irix 21mm I shot some comparison shots for the Irix 30mm. I know some of you guys have asked about them. For the ones that messaged me about the 30mm or the 21mm I have shots for both of them in a Dropbox folder now. Here's a single frame for the Irix 30mm. The coma really isn't too bad on this one! There isn't a lens profile yet so you have to tinker to get the vignette out of the corners but it's coming! ;) Check it out! If you guys are interested in the 15mm I could get some test shots of that too. Let me know if you have any questions! Dropbox link here for the 21mm and 30mm test shots. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b1zfj6phiyau77t/AAAuATMfFK3P0KsxVW0kAqGea?dl=0 Canon R6 Irix 30mm 8 sec ISO 6400 f/1.4 I want this to be about the shots and lenses...not the my affiliate link. I'm adding the affiliate link to this so if anyone in here does actually decide to purchase one you get you a discount! :) So here's that if you want it! https://www.irixusa.com/?ius=f387624df552cea2f369918c5e1e12bc&fbclid=IwAR3AqinRZAns7jgCkfdNY-nOZachceDgvuC7EYGFXzUHt7C1TazA7X98Kpg Coupon code (for I think 10% off) = IRIX-ZVBQ #irix21mm #irixdragonfly #irixexpedition #UH82NVME #UH82NVMYPHOTOGRAPHY #Irixtest #astrophotography #galaxy #milkyway #canonr6 #irix30mm https://www.instagram.com/p/CeU9rTyuGsz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I know I've shot at Hyde Mill a million times but it's such a great little place to shoot I can't resist it. :) This isn't my typical kind of shot OR edit so hopefully it's alright. Trying to get better at editing so it could be good....or painful....or both....but I guess we'll see where it goes. Hopefully better in the end...LOL This is a 6 shot stack of images which I extremely rarely stack them. Might even be my second attempt ever...but anyway...here it is in all it's "glory".
