Most were around 20 seconds. With the full moon and all of the snow there was a lot of light bouncing around. Just not enough when it came to seeing the controls on the camera. I had a headlamp but tried not to use it since so many other photographers were all around me also trying to make long exposures. I was also trying to keep the exposures short enough that the stars didn't star trailing. I like long star trail shots but I unfortunately didn't have the hours it would have taken to make that kind of photo. Bob: Thanks for stopping by -- it's great hearing from you! I agree completely. A good, hot breakfast is a bonus any day but it tastes even better when you already have a few good shots on your CF card. Life truly is good! Stop by and leave a comment any time. I always enjoy hearing from you. Wish you were at this conference. Hope to see you again soon. Doug: The night exposures weren’t that long. Most were around 20 seconds.

Can't wait to see more. I'm curious about your night images - how long were your exposures? It's always a challenge when you're shooting in cold weather and the exposure is 3-4 minutes (+ the same for camera to process). Have fun. -doug Love your stuff from Canada so far.
