Don’t miss the five main astronomical events of 2019, from the supermoon of 21 March to the rain of the Geminids in December. Whatever your destination this year, make sure you have the right equipment to portray the magic of the starry skies.
With the approach of International Dark Sky Week on March 31st, Sony has collaborated with some leading astrophotographers to give greater visibility to this year’s astronomical wonders and provide insiders with advice on when, where and how to capture the perfect shot. From the Milky Way to incredible showers of stars, European astrophotographers Albert Dros, Andrew Whyte, Alexander Heinrichs and Leonardo Orazi show us how, with the Sony 24mm F1.4 GM lens, the ideal shots can be achieved.
Not just any accessory, but the ad hoc optics for extremely detailed and sharp night images, without unwanted reflections originating from the glass. The five main astronomical events to be immortalized in 2019:
According to Bettymaya Foott of the International Dark-Sky Association, summer is the perfect time to catch a glimpse of the Milky Way’s Galactic Center, but winter also has its advantages. Many European destinations can be enjoyed with the nose up:
Known for its jaw-dropping and mystical character, the Milky Way is a favorite among night sky lovers. Award-winning photographer Albert Dros, originally from the Netherlands, he recently immortalized all the poetry of the Milky Way from a canyon in Kyrgyzstan, on Lake Issyk-Kul. He has declared:
The night sky is infinitely beautiful and, for this, you travel long distances to admire its amazing charm. Fortunately, the new 24mm F1.4 GM lens allows you to capture a great deal of detail and eliminate sagittal flare, making much of the work easier to reproduce the most beautiful scenes with ease.
The Italian astrophotographer Leonardo Orazi he portrayed a bewitching trail of stars near Sestrière, in the Alps, with the lens Sony 24 mm F1.4 GM. He has declared:
Often, my best shots come from the Alps. I love the peace and tranquility they convey, but above all the clear, dark skies from which the perfect image can arise. For my hikes in the mountains it is essential to have light equipment. At 400 grams, the new Sony lens is the best ally I could have.
The next supermoon is expected on March 21st. For this occasion, photographer Andrew Whyte explains how to portray her in all her glory at the point of closest proximity to Earth. According to his experience:
There are many different ways to best reproduce the supermoon: from classic close-ups with featured subjects to larger images that enclose the night sky. For an optimal result, you have to pay close attention to the equipment used. The Sony 24mm F1.4 GM lens captures detail and eliminates sagittal flare, thus helping me do what I do best.
