I'm curious as to how you managed to take that photo entitled: “Star Trails Over Joshua Tree, Panasonic GF-1 & Panasonic 7-14mm f/4” I noticed that the star streaks covered a span of about 26 degrees, and that amounts to just under 1 hour 45 minutes. I have a GF-1 and the bulb setting is limited to 256 seconds, just over 4 minutes or so. Were you able to bypass the GF-1’s 256 second limitation on the bulb setting by tweaking the firmware? Or did you take multiple exposures and merge them together. I’m very interested in how you took this photo since I’ve tried to get a similar shot with mine, but am getting frustrated with the bulb exposure limitation. Great shots!
