Landscape: Starry Night

This shot cost me my intervolometer. I had the tripod in the water with the camera about 8" above the water surface. The cord was draped over the camera, and it slipped off into the lake. A bag of rice did not bring it back to life.

Single shot
EF 24 mm f/1.4L
f/2
24 seconds
3200 ISO

Edit: I am hoping to go to this spot tonight and see if I can get some northern light action there also. It looks like it will be clear (unlike last night), and the lights are supposed to be active. But I may be to far south. I was seriously thinking of driving 250 miles north to the "Wilderness National Dark Sky Park", but my old body keeps talking me out of it.
