Description

Ever since I was able to do a 26 min exposure from La Palma with a 300mm f 2.8 lens, I wanted to revisit this area. It is virtually invisible from my home site (southern declination of the subject plus lack of dark hours in summer), so I planned a holiday in Crete to work on this. I used my Sigma 135mm Art at f 2.2.
This is a crop of a two pane mosaic.
