Celestial Hoodoos

Symmetrical hoodoos at Stud Horse Point under a starry sky near Page, Arizona. This is actually a blend of two images. The first (involving the hoodoos) was shot at twilight about 15-20 minutes after sunset using iso 100 to eliminate noise. The second (involving the sky) was shot about 45-60 minutes afterwards at iso 800 and 25 seconds to minimize star movement as I wanted a static star scene. Obviously, a tripod and some patience were required to realize the final image.
