"Yosemite Falls And Stars"

Well, Joe Azure and Casey McCalister motivated me to stack my failed star trails attempt from our weekend in Yosemite back in February. Failed you ask? How so? Well, we forgot a little important tool of any star trail photographer in cold weather. Lens warmers!!! After setting up our our cameras to take 30 second exposures for 4 hours straight, Ally, Joe, Casey and I threw back a couple of cold ones, watched Joe fall out of his lawn chair, and then fall asleep in my car. When I awoke about 3am to retrieve my camera, I was disappointed to find a layer of ice covering my glass. All in all, I only got 32 exposures before my lens succumb to the cold and ice...and here they are...all 32 exposures.

Here is Joe's version.
