The Zodiacal Light and Hailing a Ride


Recommended Posts

While on holiday last year on Benguerra Island in Mozambique I did plenty of stargazing with my Tak FC-76 but I also could not resist some wide field shots of the night sky.
 

Early during our two week stay I was capturing some shots of the evening Zodiacal Light (annoyingly bright BTW when observing in that part of the sky) and a lady walked past me on the beach wearing a cocktail dress. Slightly unusual on a island in the Indian Ocean. She walked about another 30 metres and then used the torch on her phone to signal a large boat moored slightly out to sea. A few seconds later they flashed back and then set off in a small speedboat to pick her up. It was all captured during the 25 second exposure I had running. 14mm lens at f/2.8 and ISO 3,200 on unmodified Canon 70D.
