About A 10 hour shutter speed was used for this picture,which was taken in the base(1950m) of Astraka peak(2436m) on mountain Gamila in Epirus,Greece.It was Christmas time and the EOS shelter was crowded, but that didn't bother us since we had planned to sleep in our tents.After pitching my Salewa(the red one on the left) and arranging my stuff, I took my old Zenit with a 29mm and a small tripod and set up this photo,having in mind that I would close the shutter the next morning.A cable release was used to take care of the loooong exposure,and then me and my friends walked to the Shelter to drink hot coffee and socialize with fellow mountaineers,leaving the light trails of our headlamps behind.Very few cameras are capable of time exposures that long in sub-zero temperatures,and I'm glad Zenit is one of them :-)

Wow! Even the thumnail blew me away; well, that's what brought me in for a closer look, and I'm even more impressed. The colours are intensely beautiful. I also have to laugh because the three tents look like three of Apple's original fruity iMacs that have fallen face down in the snow ;)

Photographically yours,

Tad

What magic! It is amazing to see this, and part of the magic is that we are looking at not a moment, but 10 hours in time. Beautiful. As I was reaching to place this in favorites, I noticed the highest count there I've seen so far. Congrats! :) T.

Lukasz: the aperture was the smallest possible,of course ;-)

thank you!

Kostas Tzanetos Kostas Tzanetos   {K:22012} 11/17/2004
thank you :-)))

Ben: the Zenit has a mechanical shutter that needs no battery to operate. the same applies to Nikon FM2 (and a few other models no longer produced). with every other camera the length of your exposure depends on the duration of the batteries,and it's usually limited ;-)

Hi Kostas,
In your comment you mentioned that not many camera can take long exposure that long, do you mean battery life or the lens from fogging up in cold temperature?
I have never opened my camera shutter for more than 5 mins. So please advice.
Beautiful shot btw!
Cheers,
Ben

I was lucky that found your graet PIc in the main page today. it invites me to visit your perfect shots with good skill in using long exposure times. so magic and dreamy atmosphere you have created here, it is also valuable when i knew it captured with the camera" Zenith". very good composition and exellent use of background, the contrast of night is wonderful/ i would glad if you see my shots.

Brilliant idea and exceptional colours. You're right about the Zenit, too. Such a simple, mechanical camera, just the tool for this task.

thank you Jim. the film color shift because of the long exposure couldn't be avoided at shutter time but it was easy to correct using software afterwards.
i have uploaded this same image again about a month ago,in a slightly different version that you may also like :-)

An excellent picture, Kostas, so warm... despite the subzero temperature! A fairy-tale camp, with those lamp ligths.. like traces of invisible dwarfs! Still my favourite picture, Kostas, and I'll be back here again... :-)

It would make a great screen saver.. ;-) What do you think?

I am just speachless, Kostas... The sky behind, teh illuminated tents, the lapm lines, and the story... No 1 in my favourite.

I also have a Zenith, but I favoured so far my digital camera... After seing this one, I will rethink it again...

Superb photograph, congratulations.
