Megiddo Mountain

Third try of my sun trail experiment, 2hrs exposure, lots of NDs, lots of anticipation. This time I exposed at the 'proper' compensation for this scene and calculating in reciprocity failure overexposing by 8 stops. Still a bit dark, but definitely getting to a result that I pre-visualized. Abstract and minimal as expected! Let me know your thoughts!

    @klawe Thanks, yeah this one I like very much. This time I measured at f64, adding +2 Stops on my highlights as I always do on b/w, plus added a stack of NDs (total of ND 4.8) which would give me my desired exposure time of 128 minutes. Then to add in the reciprocity failure I opened the aperture 6 stops, actually shooting at f8 instead of f64... So at the end it was overexposed by a total of 8 stops of the meter reading

    @klawe @guja @oliv0380 Thank you! It's a good few days, clear skies, mild weather, I enjoy just hanging on the mountain for a few hours doing long exposures:)

    I really love it. It looks like a shooting star or an asteroid falling down on Earth.
