the mountain, the moonlight, the big dipper and the good idea

I give credit to Dave Clarke who insisted I leave Wampler's warm, cozy house for the icy outdoors to take some long exposure shots of Mt Adams glowing in the moonlight. He even drove me to the field where I set up my tripod and climbed around on big snow banks while experimenting with exposure times. This is a fifteen second exposure.

The big dipper is directly above the mountain, glowing and snowy in the moonlight.

My first long exposure nighttime shot. I'm inspired to take more of course.

How I love Trout Lake, Washington!
