Looking Up in Zion



Looking Up, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

Coming down from Angels Landing in the dark, I paused after the set of switchbacks known as Willy’s Wiggles. Looking back, I saw Angels Landing silhouetted (on the right). I exposed for about twenty minutes, with the camera pointed close to due north (which accounts for the exaggerated circular motion of the star trails).

[18mm in 35mm terms, 1199 seconds at f/4 and ISO 200, tripod mounted.]
