Startrail photography 10mm5/4/2023 In this blog I have highlighted my experience in Kaza, the sub-divisional headquarters of Spiti Valley in the Lahaul and Spiti district of the state of Himachal pradesh in the western Himalayas of India. I always carry a diary whenever I travel – to write my activity of the whole day at night before sleeping so that it becomes easier to jot down all the main points for blogging. Capturing and documenting places with my camera has become an addiction now. I have been travelling nonstop ever since. My first trip out of my home town ( Delhi ) was in 2010, Kerela. And those who get there are the ones who understand perfectly that the journey of life is about tenacity and perseverance. Regrettably, only very few of us get there. Along these chequered pathways, we meet and leave friends, stay glued to our families and seek belief in a source, for inspiration and for the strength we require to struggle on to our destinations. We are all travelers through the pathways of life. The above quote by Ibn Battuta makes a lot of sense. “Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta Nevertheless I hope I will add this Beast in my Kit Bag really soon.

It is wide enough to capture a bride and a groom inside the hall with beautiful interiors or shooting them outside with a superb landscape background. 20mm with f/1.4 makes this lens a perfect partner for Wedding photographers as well.

While focal length determines working distance and therefore perspective, very wide angle focal lengths are a lot about making foreground subjects larger in relation to the background subjects and about including a lot of background in the frame. So if you know actually for what you are buying this lens for before taking a decision is healthier. The lens is exceptionally sharp even at f/1.4 which is a plus point for its users.īut I would suggest that before buying this lens you must need to keep in mind that it has a fixed 20mm focal length. Extremely fast auto focus motor works really well even when you are shooting from a moving car or capturing any movement. I have taken a number of Milky Way shots, star trails, night selfies and stunning landscapes of Spiti.Īperture value goes from f/1.4 to f16 making it faultless for daytime shoots to Night photography to wide landscapes to street photography. Weight around 950g, is an immense and a perfect lens for all Landscape, Architecture and Astro photography lovers. I must articulate that it is one of the most excellent and the sharpest lens I have ever encountered and is giving a tough competition to available “L” and “N” series lenses of Canon and Nikon. I got an implausible chance to try my hands on this beauty or I should simply call it ‘ The beast’ Sigma 20mm f/1.4 Art Series Lens on my 2nd trip to Spiti valley, with my friends.
