Brightin Star Announces Updated MF 11mm f/2.8 II Full Frame Fisheye Lens https://petapixel.com/2026/04/08/brightin-star-announces-updated-mf-11mm-f-2-8-ii-full-frame-fisheye-lens/ #brightinstar #Equipment #fullframe #fisheye #News #11mm #lens

Just havin a normal one here in The Arctic. Another 60GB of RAW files to work through from this evening.

This set was taken with my fisheye lens, because it's super wide with a little over 120° field of view. And that's handy when you want to capture what's happening from one horizon to another.

(Exposures are F4 for 4sec at ISO 4000. Lumix S9 and TT Artisan 11mm F2.8 MF)

Off to bed now. Been out there for four hours shooting tonight. Gonna take days to sort through the pics.

I did grab this frame to share quickly though before my brain logs off. A cheeky selfie under the aurora.

I have a few thousand frames to dig through tonight. Just wanted to share something right away, because it's a little bit exciting.

I wasn't in the mood to head out and shoot tonight. I was tired to the bones after yesterday's outing, and the thought of leaving our cosy cabin to stand in the cold just in case things kicked off was marginal at best. But the satellite data was pretty convincing. And I knew a half decent spot to shoot from, about 10mins drive away.

I grumbled and made a fuss and got in the car and stood out there. Buzzed a buddy and he came to join too. And then it went off like a frog in a sock. Maybe the second best aurora of the season so far. Not fast paced, but very generous and very pretty.

This scene is taken on the Lumix S9 with an 11mm F2.8 MF Fisheye by TT Artisan. Half decent lens. Tricky to tame that fisheye effect, hence setting the horizon as close to the centre as possible.

Having seen some encouraging data on the satellites last night, I got organised and headed down to the fishing pier. And waited. And waited. And waited.

To the north there were clouds coming in, and to the south the moon was painting the night sky blue. It felt like a race between the incoming weather, and the satellite data that promised some activity.

Then it arrived. Just a few ribbons at first in the south, then a beautiful band that started in the East and reached right across the horizon to the west. I had my 11mm with me, so managed to grab a slice of the moment before the clouds moved in proper and shut down the fun.
