Seaching for Answers in the Cosmos
This photo was done in a single 30-second shot. ISO was 3200 (hence some graininess) but I couldn't shoot much lower ISO at that time frame with the lens I had without the stars moving too much. Karsten lit up the waterfall with his headlamp for the first 5 seconds of the exposure then turned his light down to follow the stream of water to the ocean briefly before pointing the light up towards the stars for the last 20 seconds or so. All while remaining as still as possible to not blur his silhouette! Good coordination on his part as well as a lot of patience as this required quite a few outtakes.
