Haystack, Mount Si

Mt. Si Summit | Press L to view in lightbox (must see large!)

 

The true summit of Mt. Si is a gigantic monolithic granite rock called the Haystack. This rock towers over the summit basin and the rock face we stood at to take this photo.

 

The 2 minute and 30 second exposure really soaked in the colors. I doubled the exposure to 5 minutes on a second take, but didn't get much light as the sun was setting fast. You may notice that the blue light is uneven -- that's because my camera was oriented about 60° relative to the sun's setting point.

 

Exposure: 150.6 seconds

Aperture: f/16.0

Focal Length: 24 mm

ISO Speed: 100

Filters: 0.3 + 0.6 + 0.9 GND Lee Filter
