I have been posting to this blog for over 13 years, each year reporting on accomplishments over the prior year and goals for the new year.

2024 is a little different. I’ve decided that this Blog will be my main photography communication vehicle. Content will be varied and in the spirit of my approach to photography as described on the "About" page of my website at www.jeffmarcowitz.photography 

Unlike the past, all content posted here in the blog will NOT also be on the website Project W pages. I intend to make the Project W pages more of a curated collection of work representing the “Best Of” images posted here on the Blog. With a subscription, you'll continue to receive an email (with content) whenever I post to the Project W Blog.

Thanks to all of you who have followed this photo blog for many years and welcome to any newcomers. My hope is that the images and stories are interesting and thought-provoking as I continue this creative journey. As always, comments, critiques and suggestions (here and the website) are welcome and appreciated as they often lead to new ideas and inspiration.

Thank You.
Jeff

Astro Experiment

Experiment
52Frames - Week 32 - Night Photography
EC: Astro

Weight limit on an upcoming trip is going to severely limit the amount of camera gear I can bring. Since I'll be in dark sky locations, wanted to see what's possible with a "non-astro" lens. While I'd love have my 14mm f2.8, the 20mm f4 will have to suffice.

Purposely didn't try to incorporate foreground here and pointed the camera straight up. This is a composite of 121 images at 30 seconds each; 1 hour total exposure time.

Sony A7IV @ f4 | 30" x 121 | 20mm | ISO 200
Sony FE 20-70mm F4 G

Photographed 8/7/24
