Milky Way Through Colonnade Arch

Colonnade Arch is a buttressed alcove, with three windows opening to the south and two opening upward. The alcove and most of the landscape in this photo are in the Labyrinth Canyon of the Green River, immediately north of Canyonlands.

 

This window has a view of Two Mile Canyon, which flows to the east (left in this image) into the Green River in Labyrinth Canyon.

 

The landscape was lit solely by starlight. Eight landscape photos (f 2.8, ISO 6,400, 206 sec) were blended or stacked in Photoshop; 36 photos of the stars (f 2.8, ISO 6400, 13 sec) were rotated by StarryLandscapeStacker so that stars were bright, focused points of light. The composite land image and composite star image were joined in Photoshop.
