STAR TRAILS | The Crestock Photography Contest 2007

Photographer: rubbersoul
Title: STAR TRAILS

I took this photograph at an altitude of 4500m in the Himalayas. The earth orbits the sun at a speed of nearly 67,000 miles per hour and rotates around its axis at a speed of 1000 miles per hour. We are ignorant of these dizzy speed, but when one takes a long exposure at night the star trails tell the story. Technical details. Camera: NIKON F80 Lens: Tamron 19-35mm@19mm Aperture: f 5.6 Shutter: 20 minutes Film: Fuji Sensia 100ASA Scanner: NIKON Coolscan V

I believe all photos in this comp deserve atleast one vote, for people going to the trouble of entering a pic which to them represents "SPEED DEMON" everyones idea is different which makes a competition interesting. Good work :-) cheers

For what purpose, may I ask.

Did you take this photo. Was it to brag about being in the Himalayas, if so you need to get out in the real world and make some friends who are not cyber based. This picture makes me dizzy. Fact.
