This image did not conform to the rules of the challenge'Extreme Exposure'. Which clearly states that image exposure time should be one minute or more. I have contacted the administration in an effort to remedy the matter. Please do not this personally, I just feel that it is unfair to other participants. Thank you.

Location
This photo was taken at broken top, in the three sisters wilderness, Oregon.Time
It was between 9-10pmLighting
I feel I got lucky, not only was I in front of a secluded mountain and lake, but it also was a clear starry night.Equipment
I used my Nikon d3300. I also used a tamron wide angle 11-16mm lens. The tripod I used in this instance, as I was backpacking, was my lightweight Sony tripod.Inspiration
It was the perfect combination. It was a cold night, at a beautiful mountain with a lake. The beauty of places like this is there is no light pollution. The stars were shining so brightly, and such luck to have the milkyway. Instant inspiration.Editing
I use lightroom, but the most minimal post processing necessary. I turned up my brights and whites.In my camera bag
I have a Nikon d3300, I have my standard, go to lens, the Nikon 18-300mm. I also always carry a tamron wide angle 11-16mm lens. Lastly I carry a tripod, usually a proline, unless in this case in which i was backpacking, I carry a lightweight Sony tripod.Feedback
Make sure you have all of your settings correct, before shooting stars. Depending upon your aperture setting, you can usually shoot stars anywhere from 15-25 seconds. It is usually a trial and error to make sure you don't overexpose, otherwise you will have star trail.
