This is from Sunday night in lower Cathedral Valley, looking at Cathedral of the Moon in the foreground, Cathedral of the Sun in the back. I was experimenting with a new technique.
This is a stacked image of about an hour and 10 minutes, last exposure taken about 3 hours before sunrise. I left the camera in the exact same spot, went to bed for a couple hours, then woke up at the first hint of twilight, and then made an exposure again. I then simply stacked that exposure with the ones from a couple hours earlier, and was able to get the detail in the rocks, and add color to the sky.
Perhaps not a perfect method, but I like the results well enough. (Much easier than painting those huge sandstone towers with flashlights...)
