Comment by nathan mccreery on April 9, 2010 at 6:15pm: One anecdote I forgot to add about this is that the camera is aimed straight up. I would place my darkcloth on the ground and then crawl under the camera to focus and compose. On one of these photographs, with my darkcloth on the ground, and a 90 minute exposure, I left the camera while film was being exposed and went to the front of the canyon to sit on a rock and eat lunch. At the end of the exposure, when I pulled up the cloth, there was a snake under it! I don't know who was more shocked! the snake did survive the experience though.
