at over 4000 years old, brother of the ancient Methuselah.

Olaf, brilliant man. It is the North Star indeed. If we're south of the equator or really high up, we can use either the North Star or the Southern Cross for the same effect. - Michael Soo

Fantastic image! Would that be the North Star that all the other stars seem to rotate around?

LOL, my patience was fine. I calculated the time, checked the lightmeter, started the shot, flashed the tree with my White Lightning monoblock and ran back into the car with everyone else freezing. The temperature up 11,000 feet was below zero and we were all cold. Chatted in the car for near to an hour before scurring out unwillingly to remove our frozen cameras from the scene. - Michael Soo

Ah rats Mike. You've got an even MORE negative EV value than I do. :-) Oh, awesome shot too... :-)

EV is -8.7

Only 3,338 seconds? What, did you get impatient ;) This image is just amazing. I would like to try something like this someday over Mt. Shasta. Wow! Cindy
