Cara: No only left the shutter open for 30 seconds. In contionus burst mode with the shutter button held down by a rubber band. Took 171 photographs over 1 hour and 20 min. Then stacked the photographs in Photoshop CS2 using an action that blends all them together. The battery ran down after 171 shots. I purchased an a/c adapter, put a power inverter on my Jeep and will try another over 8 hours soon. #4133289Chris Budny April 08, 2007

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
