I found my self shooting a lot of long exposures during our many nights staying on Thompson Pass, Alaska.  On the clear nights the stars were out in full force and the mountains stood tall glowing under the moonlight creating an amazing luminous frozen landscape.  Despite the cold I would try and stay out as long as I could shooting and waiting for a chance to capture the Northern Lights but mother nature decided against giving me the famous show, which was a bummer. Unfortunately not having a remote trigger or a timer remote controller I was left with my in camera 30 second exposure.  Although I wasn’t able to get some really long exposures I was happy with what I was able to get under the time limit circumstances.  Below are just a couple of my favorites from the trip including the first photo set of multiple self portraits taken around the ABA base camp where I popped myself with my g10. Second photo is of the Moon rising over The Books Mtn Range and the third photo a panoramic shot of ABA base camp under a full moon.
