The Milky Way over the sandstone hoodoos of Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park in southern Alberta. This is a comppsite of a single 30-second untracked exposure for the sky with the Canon 6D at ISO 4000, and 24mm lens at f/2, as the final frame of a 300-frame time-lapse, with a exposure for the ground, taken at the end of the time-lapse with the lens stopped down to f/4 and the Canon at ISO 1600 for lower noise and better depth of field. This final frame of the star trail time-lapse at Writing-on-Stone is made to crossfade to from the movie. Two versions of the ground are in the layered PSD file for demo purposes — 1) from a stack of the last 10 frames and 2) from a single minute exposure with an LENR dark frame but the camera shifted a little so that image had to be manually aligned.
