Very nice. Re: star trails. Did you take a series of photos and stack them, or is that just one long exposure ? Hint...get the north star in the photo (but not in the center) for a more dramatic effect.

The trail is a stack of ~50 10sec images. Probably should have had a little less exposure to get fewer stars, as I think it's a too many in this image. I was aiming for the North start, but at 4am, while still half in my tent and using my hat on the ground as a tripod, my options were limited

I'm pretty sure we would have noticed and remembered that crowd! There were five of us, three guys and two gals- none over 5'11
We arrived Fri night and got a very late start Sat morning, so it's quite possible that our paths did not cross.
