I am pleased to announce the winner of the August 2008 Cloudy Nights Imaging and Sketching Contest - Kentari!



The Corona with a Diamond from Siberia

ISO 400
24 exposures from 1/1600s up to 1/5s at 1/3rd stop interval with some frames missing due to movement. The last and longest exposure was made when the Diamond Ring was already on its way.

I KNOW this is really OCD of me, but can we get the poll bars on the graph match the percentages? They are all of by 1 slot.
