Equipment

This was made with a 50mm lens and a technique I created in July of 1982. First, the rock wall was focused on and the lens set @ f/16. The shutter was opened and the wall rendered with an electronic flash. Then, with the shutter still open, the focus was shifted to infinity, and the lens opened up to f/2.8 for the remainder of the 15 minute exposure.

Description

Here you see star trails wheeling above one of the chalk pyramids at Monument Rocks National Natural Landmark. In the small window is Polaris and several fainter attendant stars.

Description

The zodiacal light is an inconspicuous glow which can be seen before sunrise around autumn equinox and after sunset around spring equinox. Last year, in November, I've captured the zodiacal light at dawn in a sky getting brighter. And a few days ago, I captured the zodiacal light after the sunset in a sky getting darker. I composed the photos in a single picture for a comparison. This picture and many animations are available in this gallery: http://www.pixheaven.net/galerie_us.php?id=1
