Taken on a Pu’u (Hill) near the Mauna Kea Visitor Center where my dad and I volunteer. No one really understood what I was thinking when I hiked this hourglass up there, not even sure if I knew. This shot was the first and only try that night.

This has actually been in my scraps for quite awhile. I was not 100% happy with it, so I figured I could try and re shoot it. Sometimes you don't know how much happy you are with what you have until you try to re shoot.

Superb idea. Seems like a lot of ambient light here.

was this shot with a digital camera? That's not bad for digital, but if you really want star trails you've got to go analog. i'd try with a medium format camera if you can. Even a holga would out perform a digital slr for this. It's a brilliant concept! :)

great concept!
but I would've used wider angle to capture more background :)

thats really awesome... it created a cool cloudy look within the glass, and the background is great.
