The stars of autumn rising over Mount Kerkeslin and Athabasca Falls in Jasper National Park, Alberta, on a night with a waxing quarter Moon illuminating the landscape. I shot this Sept 3, 2014. This is a stack of 100 images (out of 165 shot in a time-lapse series), each 45 seconds at with the 14mm Rokinon lens, and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 3200. The landscape comes from one image shot at the beginning of the sequence with a higher Moon lighting up more of the landscape. Even so, the falls were dark and in shadow. The star trails were created by stacking in Photoshop with the Advanced Stacker Plus actions from Star Circle Academy, using the Comets mode.
