Dark Side of the Moon

[CarpeyBiggs]

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...)

I think its a great photo and something I really want to try my hand at this summer while out and about.

How many exposures total did you combine and how long were they?

Thanks for sharing
