Death Valley Night Textures

Star trails over Zabriskie Point. Facing West with a ultra wide. Star Staxed with StarStax. The night sky time lapse was shot over Dante's View the night prior during a bright moon. The foreground shot in the early morning blue hour prior to sunrise.

 

Much later in the year I attempted the StarStax star trails under very dark skies. Because there were so many stars it dominates the entire scene. Whereas, under a brighter moon fewer stars allow more balance of the sky and textures of the ground.
