This week’s Friday Photo winner is Erik Bengtson with this shot taken during an evening snowshoeing excursion with friends.
Here’s what he had to say about it:
Snowshoeing is an awesome winter activity. It is even better when you combine it with camping, sledding and friends. In this 12min. exposure at least three people took a run down the hill with their headlamps on, and one of them ended up face first in the snow. The star trails from our rotating planet and the Mountain Hemlocks bathed in snow provide a frame for our winter wonderland. This image was made with a traditional 35mm film camera and was not manipulated from its original form.
Congrats, Erik! You just won an Ultima 65 Spotting Scope with Astromaster Tripod, courtesy of Celestron.
