Ok Doug I registered so I can comment on your image of Fly Geyser.
It seams to me that the guy holding the flashlight on the right side of you, could have done a better job. If need be he could have run around to the other side, (tripped over a cow pie, fallen in a creek.) to give you a bit more light over there. Ok seriously now, my favorite part of the images is the stars. By looking close you can kind of tell how long your exosphere was by how far the star has moved. The use of a ladder to get the pools was inspired. What I have not seen any comments about was how you managed to get a sharp 700 Sec. exosphere when standing on top of an 8 foot ladder?

Doug was using a prototype of a camera platform that I'm developing. Needless to say, it was well-received. More information on it in the future.
Thanks for your narrative on the technical aspects of your work here. Knowing how much effort you put into this really makes one realize how unique these images are. Thanks. By the way, are the Mongolian guys trying to tell us that the place is really out there and it is their turf? Or are they you new photo representatives?

Dons stability platform will be an essential item of gear for elevated look down images in hard to go places. I intend to buy the first one or may have to make something like it if I can't wait. This was the first I had seen or heard of it and it worked very well and allowed for long exposures from a ladder.
Well, what can I say...it is time for me to give up photography...these images are unique and your expertise with light painting is superb. The depth of field is fantastic; able to catch the stars too is the icing in the cake. The middle image reminds me of a Las Vegas light show. And those guys with your photos look familiar.
