Cranbrook photographer Chad St. Pierre travelled to Fernie late Saturday night to meet up with fellow photographers at Hosmer, just outside of Fernie. As St. Pierre reports: “It took us a few tries to finally find a good location. With -33 degree weather, you don’t realize what kind of challenge it is to photograph for over an hour in conditions like this. Typically battery life lasts me a full day’s worth of shooting, but in these conditions I was only able to get an hours worth. An hour later, 112 frames snapped, numb fingers and a gimped tripod whos legs froze solid I was able to capture my very first star trail image.
