This image was taken just outside the Saguaro National Park, in AZ. It is a composite of the desert landscape and the night sky. It was shot with a Fuji GFX100s, Tripod mounted, and a GF23mm F4, No filters. The Exposure for the night sky was: ISO-10,000, SS 20-seconds, and the aperture was at F4. The foreground was exposed at ISO100, F18, SS:1/500th. Post Processing: 10% Crop, Dodge & Burned, Adjustments made to both Raw images and then blended.
This was shot in the Month of April 2023. About 1.5 miles into the desert off the main road just outside the SNP. Wonderful time of the year when the desert comes alive.
This was my first time on this 2-month trip using the GFX100s. It is great for landscapes, but pretty slow otherwise. But Oh that image sharpness!
