Reaching out into the Eventide

This is my version of the co-operative effort with Tim Poulton.

 

Having settled into my sleeping bag earlier I was surprised by Tim returning from his call to nature exclaiming "you better check this out".

 

The moon had emerged from the clouds and was lighting up the side of Craig's Hut spectacularly.

 

We raced outside to setup our gear and started to capture some frames. However something was missing. We needed to bring the hut to life. With no high powered lamps we resorted to Tim's shellite fuel.

 

There were quite a few logistical problems with capturing this image. Firstly the time it would take to shoot the 7 frame pano at 15 sec per frame would prove problematic with the moon disappearing behind the clouds regularly. Also Tim had to carefully manage the interior lighting for 2 minutes and not burn or gas himself or create another $300k rebuild.

 

Cheers
