So I lucked out...

Canon 5d Mk ii, 15mm Fisheye, 35 minute exposure.

I lucked out in finding north.  North being the direction at the center of the circle.  I was also lucky in getting limited interference from the massive headlights just below the bottom of the frame.

I was freezing at the top of Mount Haleakala at 0450 in Maui, HI setting up this shot.  It was only 40-50 degrees, but the wind chill took the temperature down to the 30s.  Also, you can see where I bumped the tripod towards the end of the exposure.  It is the point where the trail turns up at the end.

Next time, I will bring more layers to keep warm and take multiple pictures instead of one long exposure.  Thinking back now, I wish I listened to a friend when she told me to take many smaller images instead of one long exposure.

My favorite part is next; planning for the next excursion.  Who's up for a little adventure...?
