A moonlit scene of yellow balsamroot wildflowers blowing in the wind on a moonlit night in the Blakiston Valley in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, May 29, 2023. Blakiston Creek winds below toward the Waterton River. The waxing gibbous Moon just off frame at top provides the illumination. Moonlight is the same colour temperature as sunlight, so in a long exposure like this, a scene looks like daylight This is a blend of four exposures: 3 x 25 seconds for the dark ground, focus stacked for the foreground and distance, and a single 10 second exposure for the bright sky, both at f/4 with the Canon RF15-35mm lens at 24mm and Canon R5 at ISO 800. A mild Orton Glow added with Luminar Neo.
