FEATURED WEB TUTORIAL: NIGHT
 

Star Streaks

Published by:  Photo.net
Tutorial Preview:

There I was, up in the White Mountains of California, 10,500' high in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. The tree in the foreground is probably 3,000 years old. They grow slowly in the dry climate that results from being in the rain shadow of the Sierra Mountains across the Owens Valley to the east.

I stuck my Nikon 6006 on a tripod facing east, mounted a 60/2.8 macro lens (I think), and set the aperture for f/4 (ISO 50 color negative film). I opened the shutter with a cable release and screwed down the lock. Then I went to sleep for six hours. As the morning began to brighten, around 4:30, I unscrewed the cable release. No clunk. No motor drive whirr. It seemed that the lithium battery had died. I put a lens cap onto the front of the lens to block stray light and inserted a new battery. The shutter/mirror thunked closed and the camera wound up to the next frame. I then repeated this procedure with a Nikon 8008 on an adjacent tripod.
