Music: Glittering Blackness by Explosions in the Sky and Autumn Leaves by John Coltrane

Which lens did I use for those four time lapses?

For time lapse #1, I used the 400mm ƒ/2.8G AF-S ED-IF VR mounted on D300 at F/4.0, VR set to off and focusing set for Infinity (∞).

For time lapse #2, I used the Nikkor 85mm ƒ/0.74 AIS Noctilux mounted on D700 at F/1.0, using the hyperfocal focus [focused on the mountains using a laser rangefinder to calculate the focusing distance then go halfway to Infinity (∞)]. Four Quantum Qflashes; two pointed on the snow-filled surface at 1/64 power and two with snoot attachments pointing at the mountains at full power. The Milky Way is what brightened the photograph before the sunrise.

For time lapse #3, I used the Nikkor 45mm ƒ/2.8D ED PC-E Micro-Nikkor N, mounted on D3 at F/4.0 with slight upwards shift, using the hyperfocal focus [focused on the arch using a laser rangefinder to calculate the focusing distance then go halfway to Infinity (∞)]. Five Quantum Qflashes; two behind the arch to add backlight with 45 degrees head tilt at 1/32 power, two on both sides of the camera with a 45 degree head panned away from the arch at 1/64 power, and one on another rock directly behind the camera on higher level, pointing down at the arch at 1/128 power. The sunrise is what caused the saturation to increase.

For time lapse #4, I used the Nikkor 600mm ƒ/4.0G AF-S ED-IF N VR with VR turned off, mounted on a TC-1.7EII, again, mounted on D2Xs in High Speed Crop (HSC) mode at F/8, manual focused on the moon then tweaked the focusing slightly behind the moon to get Venus in focus.
