Bannerman Night Photography Revisited.

Gabe and I held our 5th night photography workshop at Bannerman Island and it was the finest night of shooting we've had since that first outing. Glorious. I experimented with star trail stacking with digital and loooooong exposures with my 4x5 film camera.

You can see our students at the bottom of this exposure - walking around with their flashlights. I lit the armory with a Profoto AcuteB and Magnum Reflector with grid. Took about seven "pops" to cover the entire structure.

Looking south towards West Point.

The best accident I've had in a long time. Two hour+ exposures on a single sheet of 4x5 film.

Two D700 digital stacks of 4-6 exposures that were about 8 minutes long.
