Ahh, well they need to make that more clear on those valle de cirios signs. I figured y'all would set me straight.

Shari's camp at Asuncion. I'm trying to decide if I should stay here and weather the storm or try to get to Loreto / La Paz in the next day or two.

Shari will make a party of any storm... but if you have a time limit and need to get going, best to do it now... You can easily make it to Loreto in a day from Bahia Asuncion. If you stay there, you can help Dah-veed (DavidE) save his vegetable garden from the storm, yes?

How long is this exposure?

Did you hold the shutter open for a period of time or stack the images?

It appears to be only a few minutes by what I can see.

Thanks

Long exposures, no stacking, - about 2.5 minutes at f2 or 2.8 (can't remember) and ISO 400.
