LED light, i use it to illuminate the path when I move around :S

best if no cloud, but sometime a little bit of cloud will be interesting as well... very much depend on your composition... if you ask me, light pollution is more problematic than cloud... :S

i only tried the v1 before... I prefer the color rendition from 12-24 nikkor
the only benefit from the tokki 11-16 is the 2.8 I find that it always gave me blue tint

best is totally dark until you cant see your own finger without a torch light, and the line of sight to your shooting direction as low light as possible.
the place where I shot the photo, i can only see shape of my hand barely.

i mainly used it on D7000 with video... not much things can do to the color grading :S
that's why prefer 12-24 ways better

if you shoot in RAW, there are more latitude to 'process'
video is pretty much highly compressed jpegs

but then, if you can afford, just go for the 12-24 nikkor. better in every aspect in general use.

Sometime is not convenience/or no luxury to manually adjust WB to fit the situation.
I shoot AWB 90% of the time.

one of the most expensive DX lens till date... the craziest one is 17-55

my wife use V1 to shoot milkyway... lol



V1 + 10/2.8

Here's a good and VERY easy to understand guide by my friend, Milan Teh on how to shoot Milky Way... http://www.milanteh.com/2012-05/milkyway

You don't need super expensive tools to shoot one, but you will surely need to survive thousands of mosquito bites and numerous sleepless nights.

Most of my stars/milky ways/constellation photos can be seen here... https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1...=1&l=e277e46c04

pic spam before i go bed


Lots of chickens

heheh me too

AF-C + 3D makes my life easier for general shoots with moving subject or recomposing..
I uses AF-S + Auto Area for the rest of the time though...

the mount won't come off if you don't drop it anyway.

last night were shooting really high iso...


iso8000 :/


iso 1400


iso10000 -___-''
