As some of you know, I was kind of following the Comet Neowise all over. It wasn't intentional really, but it just sort of happened. 
I shot it in Arches NP, the Tetons, and several times in Rocky Mountain NP. This is one of those times were I shot it up at RMNP and using this cool wall area for a foreground interest. This is up along Trail Ridge in RMNP, a super cool drive with amazing views.
This was with the Sony A6400 and the 12mm f2.0 lens. I had 3 camera's going that night to shoot it at various focal lengths. I liked this perhaps the best because there was no moon that night, the only light came from the stars or passing cars. With shooting wide I could go with a longer shutter speed (20 secs) and lower ISO and f stop (ISO 3200 and f2.0). I shot with longer lenses to get tighter, but that meant shutter speeds of about 4 secs on those with ISO's of 12,800. They surprisingly are pretty clean shots, but with my heart being that of a landscape photographer, going wide like this image kind of best speaks to me. I will process some of the tighter ones later, but I wanted to start with this wider view, well and that it got a nice long meteor in it too probably helped to persuade me.
All comments are welcome,
