Mt St Helens Stars - a photo on Flickriver

Mt St Helens Stars

            A quick stacked startrail at the foothills of Mt St Helens. This image was taken looking up towards the summit  just at the edge of the treeline on the worm flows winter climbing route.

I arrived at camp just before sunset. The moon was setting just as the first few exposures were taken and it was almost pitch black. This composition was mostly accidental. I found a spot a few yards away from my tent, quickly got the exposure 'close enough' then ran back to my tent before my fingers froze off. Luckily things seemed to work out alright. This was my first attempt at using a USB lens warmer to keep frost of the front element of the lens. It worked out great and ended up being a great cheap, lightweight solution for winter backpacking and nighttime cold weather photography. 

Overnight there was very little wind and mostly calm conditions. I was awoken at 4:30am by the first group of climbers heading towards the summit. They brought along their two large huskies who were sniffing around my tent. Suprise!
