RE: Photography : Trail of Moinhos da Ribeira Funda

Exposure too long can blur the stars, leaving a trace at the bottom.
I think the ideal solution would be to use a wide open aperture.
True, for a landscape there will be a drop in the depth of field. Raising the ISO to a reasonable limit is possible ...

There is something to break your head over :D

I agree, the lowest aperture lens I got for that is the cheaper 50mm lens from Sony, with f/1.8 , I managed to do some shots on other places with an exposure of 12-15 seconds. Today I received a new lens ,24mm-240mm , very versatile Sony lens but the mininum aperture is 3.5 . How do you think that would work on a night photo? I hope to one day get an oportunity to visit the icelands and get a chance to shot the northern lights on a wide view :)

50 f / 1.8 is a good lens for night photography. It is not as wide as 24-240, but it is lighter in color.
Unfortunately lenses for sony are quite expensive.
Your camera allows you to change lenses. You can choose a light wide-angle manual lens. For landscapes, autofocus is not very important, but the price can be budget
24-240 3.5 will require long exposures at night. On the other hand, if we are to shoot a landscape, then the aperture is still covered up to 10-16 even at night. This is not very good for starry sky photography, but terrestrial pictures will be quite interesting.
Congratulations on your new lens, good purchase!
We are waiting for beautiful photos from you:))
