Long Exposure I took of myself climbing in The Needles of South Dakota with LEDs tied to my body.

It's a Rokinon 24mm 1.4.

It's a great lens for astrophotography.

Question from a newb:

Lets say during the shoot, some wild bat/bird decides to fly across the screen. What shows in the picture?

[u/shatteredankle → u/chaoism]

Nothing would show up in the photo because in order to show up, in a long exposure at night, you have to either be still enough for the camera to collect a lot of light or be a light source yourself in which case, you can move about and still show up in the image.

That's why my body doesn't actually show up in the image.

I doubt you actually walked in front of the lens while you were taking these photos.
