Cosmic Patio
Stars over a patio of stones and lupines in the foothills of the Sierras.
View large!
I did some rather fancy processing and perhaps questionable things to achieve this, but I stand by it as art. I took three exposures, one for the foreground soon after sunset, one for the sky 30 min later, and another for the stars 30 min after that. But due to the light pollution from fresno I shot some stars that were higher up in the sky and estimated where they would be a few hours later, and brought them into the scene as naturally as I could.
