Nice! How many frames did you stack?

Nice image. And using a Pentax camera. I and Alvinslee are also Pentaxians too! It has been a while since I came across someone still using film .
It would be helpful to indicate where this is.

Hi,

This is a film camera. I take single shot. The Dew problem at Bukit Fraser is bad actually. So, have to act fast before it stars dew up. :)
