I've recently been experimenting with film astrophotography - this image is my longest to date. 30min on top of a star tracker taking in the core of our Milky Way galaxy. I love how well Portra 400 picked up some of the colors of the stars and nebulae. You can also see the rotation of the earth underneath in the curved contours of the lake.
