A moonlit scene of the Blakiston Valley in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, May 29, 2023. The waxing gibbous Moon is in the frame at top, providing the illumination and lighting Blakiston Creek. 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 eight exposures, from 20 seconds to 1/6 second, to record the dark forground without blowing out the disk of the Moon too much, all blended with luminosity masks. All at f/4 with the Canon RF15-35mm lens at 17mm and Canon R5 at ISO 200. A mild Orton Glow added with Luminar Neo.
