Mount Hood, reflected in Lake Trillium, Oregon. I arrived on the scene at approximately 4:00 am – that’s when the full moon would be directly overhead. I was alone until another photographer showed up at about 5:00. He was surprised to see me, but I told him that I was surprised that as beautiful as it was, there was not a crowd present.
It was bright enough to cast shadows on the ground and to see well without a flashlight, but not bright enough for a photo without holding the shutter open for a long time. In this shot, the shutter was open for 6 minutes, causing the stars to appear as trails rather than dots (stars will show as trails whenever the shutter time is longer than 30 seconds.)
