The Milky Way Over Superstition Mountain

CATEGORY: Blend/Stacked

STORY
There was a 3-hour window to shoot the Milky Way on Sunday night, so a fellow photograher and I decided to make the most of it and head out into the Superstitions. The shot is a blend of a 4 minute 16 second foreground & a stack for the Milky Way. I’ve been experimenting with really long exposures lately & feel like everything finally came together on this shot. There was a lot of light pollution from Phoenix and the light pollution reduction feature in Sequator made a huge difference.

Great playtime image, I also am not afraid of ground light but have not gotten to the blending and this encourages me to learn.

Oasis

One of my favorite waterfalls I've photographed in recent years. deep in the backcountry of Vancouver Island lies this pristine oasis.
