Photo of the Day
Photo by Bill Goehring
Stars soar above the weathered quartzite spire of the Needles Eye in Custer State Park. To achieve an effect of falling stars, Sioux Falls photographer Bill Goehring used a three-hour exposure that began at twilight. A hand-held light directed at the monument created a day-like glow; fading light gave a glimpse of the surrounding pine forest. The Needle's hard granite, high in the Hills at an elevation of 7,166 feet, erodes about an inch every 40,000 years.

This is an awsome picture. My class loved it and especially my teacher. Hopefully I will get to see you again some day and shoot some film. Stop by sometime when you are in Wyoming I will show you around my photo paradise.

Excellent photograph and use of paintng with light. Such a pretty photograph. It almost looks like you used slide film. What kind of film was it, if you don’t mind me asking?
