Stella Lake Midnight Time-Lapse

This is a short time-lapse of Stella Lake at midnight. Stella lake is an alpine lake in the Great Basin National Park in Baker Nevada.

I shot this time-lapse a couple of days ago as part of a project I’m working on at the Las Vegas Sun. The lake is at around 10,500 ft above sea level, and is located near a glacier that is the furthest south of any glacier on the continent.

    Zach  How are you determining exposure for shots like Stella Lake?
    is it as simple as a test shot?

    Yes, several test shots to get the exposure right for the shutter speed I was looking for.
