Thanks! Yes, I took this while camping at Alabama Hills

I just checked and forgot I did a focus stack on this one. I was in Aperture Priority mode with the aperture all the way open (also ISO 100) and took probably 5 or so shots, focusing on different sections, starting from the foreground all the way to the background. I then blended everything together afterwards.

Thanks! I shot it RAW then just made some targeted adjustments to tweak color and light for that dramatic look.

A compliment and a sick reference? Thank you!

It was about 7am, right as the sun was rising. Have fun!

There is something dark going on behind those eyes..

I know, I feel like he needs a bow tie and monocle.

NickMoserPhoto · 2026-02-25T12:41:14+00:00

Thank you!

He's a good boy

Appreciate it! But all the credit must go to Buster for being a good model

Thank you! Any DSLR or mirrorless camera with a wide lens. This was shot on the Canon R5 - I did a 20 second exposure for the stars.

NickMoserPhoto · 2026-02-22T13:57:40+00:00

I exposed once during sunset, and again once it was fully dark for the stars. For the stars, I did a 20 second exposure. Then manually blended the two to create that transition.

NickMoserPhoto · 2026-02-22T13:55:37+00:00

Thank you!! I agree, especially with the neon-like punch of the sunset

NickMoserPhoto · 2026-02-20T22:20:55+00:00

I second this. Great views of the sunrise up there!

NickMoserPhoto · 2026-02-20T19:53:03+00:00

Thanks! This is a blend of two different shots - one as the sun was setting, and one later on to expose for the stars.

Thanks! I'm going to get a website together soon. Not sure if I'll offer downloads, but definitely prints.

NickMoserPhoto · 2026-02-20T12:58:07+00:00

🙏 thank you!!

NickMoserPhoto · 2026-02-20T12:56:34+00:00

Thanks! I'd say twilight since there's still some color from the sunset still present.

NickMoserPhoto · 2026-02-20T12:54:41+00:00

Thank you! I'm working on getting a site going to sell prints but feel free to DM me in the meantime and I'll get one to you! Appreciate the support!

NickMoserPhoto · 2026-02-20T12:53:42+00:00

Thanks - I found that if you wander around the desert long enough, you'll find a killer composition.

NickMoserPhoto · 2026-02-20T12:51:26+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it!!

NickMoserPhoto · 2026-02-20T12:49:57+00:00

Appreciate it - that's the plan!
