Carolina Global Photo Competition: Annapurna South by Starlight
2017 Carolina Global Photo Competition
Thematic Spotlight: Movement | “Annapurna South by Starlight” | Mardi Himal High Camp, Annapurna Mountain Range, Nepal | Photo by Robert Gourley '18 (minor)
Annapurna, the eighth-tallest mountain in the world, rests beneath the stars on a clear night. All stars in the sky rotate around the North Star, which appears to be stationary. To capture this spin, this exposure lasted 30 minutes. I was working on an independent project in rural Nepal when I took this photograph.
