Are those automobile lights coming down the volcano? Or is that lava flow?
There must have been some clever manipulation to get that pic as the cloud-banks appear static in spite of the fact that the pic is compiled from a lot of one-minute exposures. It’s a fantastic photo though.

Steve, not quite.
This effect can be acheived with something as little as a one hour exposure, depending on where in the globe one is.
Upon closer inspection the clouds appear to drift a bit, and if there is very little wind, this could be as simple as a one hour exposure or even less.
If you click on the picture it tells you underneath how they compiled it. I still think they must have treated the clouds differently to the stars.

The above picture was compiled from over 150 one-minute exposures from a digital camera
That’s just cheating! 
It can be done in one exposure and look very similar.
well.. 150 minutes is only 2 1/2 hours… not totally outrageous.
…might have been a bit of time between 'em, eh? 
maybe, maybe not… where’s that photographer?? Let’s pin him (or her) down and get to the bottom of this! 
My real question, on first seeing the image, was how did they get the stars to show in the braod daylight??

A first-quarter moon illuminated the surrounding landscape for the duration of the exposures.
