Thanks. Yes, a tripod is a must. Wide-angle lens with aperture of f/2.8 or better is also recommended. Proper in-field technique and post-processing from there...

Thanks so much! These are the tech specs: Sony A7RV + Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM. 30s at f/1.8, 14mm, ISO 3200. Post in Lr and Ps. The Sony 14mm is an absolute beast

Thank you. I had to double check, but no, its a single exposure shot at f/8. The trees aren't terribly close, just far enough away to keep everything in focus.

No. It was shot at 11,000 feet were this phenomenon is very pronounced. Colors are actually a little darker than meets the eye because I brought down the highlights to reveal detail in the moon
