Duncan Star Trails w/ Monolith

circa 1987....pre 2001 8^)

Looking at this Fujichrome slide (ASA 50), I recorded the following:
f2.8, 55 microNikkor (I think), 9 hrs. exposure
1 full manual flash blue filter E & W
2 fmf blue filter S. face
1 f5.6 auto flash on flag
2 to 3 hours of candle inside
3 fmf red filter inside
3 fmf yellow inside
f2.8 auto flash on solar panels
also clear flash on & behind 'monolith' and on tree

Pays to take notes. 8^)


other sizes: small medium large original auto

What a great photo! I was the "lookout" on Duncan Peak for two summer seasons (1964 and 1965) and have fond memories of the place. The stars at night were stupendous. Are those solar panels on the top? I only had a cold shower in my day! The new chemical toilet was installed after the old privvy blew almost all the way to French Meadows in a storm! Thanks.
