Wasatch Nightwatch II
Film: Plus-X Pan
Exposure: likely f/4, 2-3 minutes
Mt. Olympus
Salt Lake City, UT
Climbed on top of my sister's house in the middle of the night to make this one. Late Fall, the mountain had some snow on its peak. Took several as the cloud cover was moving and continuously changing. I liked this one best with the clouds streaked from the long exposure. The white pinpoints in the clouds are not noise or artifacts. They're stars that peeked through breaks in the clouds for a number of seconds during the exposure; long enough for the film to record them, but not long enough to star-trail (from Earth rotation).
