A NYE Nightscape Special

Here's a photo that spanned over 2 years in the making!!

How was it possible?

I set the camera up and aimed it straight over the town of Canmore this New Years Eve and chose a 10 second shutter. I then watched my carefully calibrated watch and hit the camera's shutter button at exactly December-31-2013 11:59:55PM

For the first 5 seconds of the exposure it was 2013 - 5 seconds before mid night - then with the camera still taking the shot, the year rolled into 2014 and the image was finished 5 seconds after the 1st of January 2014. Effectively taking 1 photo over 2 different years!

Happy 2014 everyone!

Looks great!

Great capture, well done...

Crazy awesome shot. The convergence of the mountain peaks coupled with the haze below make me think of two crazy dragons in a celestial standoff.

Cool story and great image.

Very best,

beautiful.

Thanks for the kind words!
