My first attempt at a night sky photo (actually thee stitched together). Think it works well, obviously a lot of light pollution in front of/behind the mountains at the base adding a lot of glow.

First attempt at a star trail with a large format film camera, ok but could have gone a lot better. 1.5 hour exposure on 4x5 Ektar 100, f5.6 on a 135mm lens. I intended to go for >2 hours but at 1.5 it started to rain and the lens was fogged by that point anyway so I'm surprised it turned out as well as it did tbh.

Two long exposure large format film shots, both on Fuji Provia slide film. The first was a 60 second exposure in a backcountry hut by candle light (I should have 'dressed the set' a bit more, it was a bit of a spur of the moment thing).



The second was a 4 hour exposure of the outside of another hut we were sleeping in, unfortunately there was patch cloud blowing through and a nearly full moon that night, so the star trails weren't anywhere near as nice as they could have been, still turned out pretty well I think.

20 minute exposure onto some 35mm slide film, bit of a spur of the moment shot so turned out pretty well IMO.

That's pretty cool. Most short stair trails look like mistakes, but the hazy background and the flare give it some intent. Is that the Milky Way making the pinks? And what made the flair?

Yeah it was the milky way giving the general pink glow. Not sure what the really bright trail was (I assume a planet) or why It flared, potentially a small cloud blew over or some smoke from the wood fire of the cabin we were staying in.
