Phenomenal shot Ken! Can you please let me know what focal length this was taken and whether full frame or crop sensor was used?

Ken Rhodes 15.03.2019

Thanks, Eric! The image was taken with a 35mm lens on a medium format body (Phase One XF), using a 100MP digital back. The equivalent focal length on a full-frame DSLR body would be about 22mm. Other details are f11, 4 minute exposure, ISO 50.

Thanks for the info. That truly is an incredible shot. I'll make sure to check that spot out next time I'm in Boston. I'm surprised the focal length is so wide - I don't have have any telephoto lenses, so this is good news for me! Thanks again :-)
