Spring Star Trails - Northern Minnesota
- 2006
The photos below are actually out of sequence,
as the first one is the last and longest exposure. These
were taken on the Old Vermilion Trail about 15 miles north
of Duluth, MN. It took one hour of driving and two hours
of photography to capture these three long exposures.

A
glimmer of orange light from Aurora Borealis crept
into the last 5 minutes of this 30 minute exposure.
This is centered just below Polaris (The North Star)
to magnify the turn-of-the-Earth effect. This exposure
was 30 minutes with a 20mm lens at f/4.0 and ISO
100 with a Canon 300D Digital Rebel camera.

The
"Belt" of the constellation Orion is seen
bright at the lower left of this exposure between
the two large spruce pines. The left side of the
image is artificially lit from the Duluth city lights,
15 miles away to the southwest. The purple star-track
at middle right on the image is the constellation
Pleiades, the "Seven Sisters." This exposure
was 20 minutes with a 50mm lens at f/4.5 and ISO
100 with a Canon 300D Digital Rebel camera.

This image is nearly centered on Polaris, the "North
Star," just left of center between the tops
of both trees. This exposure was 10 minutes with
a 20mm lens at f/4.5 and ISO 100 with a Canon 300D
Digital Rebel camera. The top of the tree on the
left is lit from the sky glow of Duluth city lights
15 miles away!
