Very clever PRWIN. \O The colours look a bit over-saturated to me, but that could be my screen. -O-

I am busy changing my Nikon DSLR System to Nikon Mirrorless and as such I cant take Wildlife at the moment as they havent released any Wild Life Strength zoom lenses yet so I am concentrating on Landscapes, Portraits, Long Exposure and now trying for the first time ...ASTRO Nightsky photography..I took my first step on Tues Night while camping Near Robberg Nature Reserve Plettenberg Bay ..Quite proud of myself..I mounted my Z7 Camera and 14-30mm F4 Mirrorless mount lens set at 20mm onto the Sturdy Gitzo Tripod... During the day I got Auto Focus and immediatly turned the focus to manual Mode as Auto Focus wont work at night. Then at 20h00 I set up and changed ISO manually to ISO 6400 , Wide open Lens @ F4 to let in all the starlight and Shutterspeed = Manually set 20 Sec .. Tapped the monitor screen SOFTLY spo as to not vibrate the camera ..I waited 20 secs and this is what I got O/\ O/\ O/\ Needs a Click for sure
