Having located the Arch Rock in Joshua Tree National Park in the daytime, I returned here at night for some star trails photography. My original intent was to keep the shutter open for a minimum of 3 hours, but I was forced to cut it short when too many people showed up and tried to light-painted the Arch Rock.
I was pretty bummed when I got the slides back, seeing that the trails were so short and the Arch Rock was quite bright from the light. It just looked so unnatural in colour (also affected by reciprocity failure) that I converted this into black-and-white in post processing. Regardless, that was the longest exposure I had ever done (2 hours and 4 minutes), hopefully I'll get another chance to do a 5-hr exposure.Emulsions: Kodak Ektachrome E100VS
