This was the last of three nights on my winter kayaking trip at Mono

Lake. It was fuh-reeezing cold and very windy. This is my first

real attempt at star trails with a lighted tent in the foreground.

There are some hotspots on the tent from my headlamp as I laid

inside not wanting to go back out into the cold and fiddle with my

camera. I lit the inside of the tent with my headlamp and also

briefly lit the outside with my headlamp as well, not knowing how

much light would be necessary. You can tell the tent was whippin'

in the wind pretty good. I wanted a longer star trail but I also

wanted to crawl inside my sleeping bag and go to sleep too, so I

opted for just a few minutes length, probably 10-20 minutes or so.

No pizza was consumed during the making of this photo.

Nice shot. I understand that even under those freezing circumstance when you wanted to crawl in to your sleeping bag you took time to take a snap. Hope you have more time and more start trails soon.

I think this photo really captures the mood of the moment. A very strong feeling of frozen solitude.

maybe if the tent had been further away it would have appeared to be sharper
