Three shots from my recent camping excursions.

A very long exposure (around an hour or ninety minutes):



Lit by the campfire:



And a shot of the Sawtooth and Bierstadt into the sun (pardon the lens flare ):



Thanks for looking!

How did u get 90min exposure? Do you do bulb or auto exposurr?

[RSalles]

With or without flare the 3rd shot is just amazing, like other pics too, but 3 is THE one,

Thanks all! I appreciate the comments.

kiev3 - I shot it on bulb with a locking cable trigger in the darkness of the Colorado mountain wilderness for as long as I could stay awake at the end of the night. I didn't actually keep the time, but I know it was somewhere around an hour. People have told me that it is surprising that the exposure worked as it did because of reciprocity failure. I can't really explain it, I guess I just got lucky. The slide is, in reality, a little darker, and scanning was a little tricky, so my color correcting may have been a little off. Here's a pic of the slide through a 50mm-as-loupe on a light table with my Galaxy S3 phone camera. http://i.imgur.com/opFy9XY.jpg?1

I've tried this before, but the results were never this good. Some of my previous attempts on 35mm:





(I unfortunately can't find the negative to this, it's a scan of a print)

#1 and #3 are amazing!

#1 is one of the best star trails shots I've ever seen. It's probably the best I've ever seen captured with film.

Great shots esp #1.
