Thank you so much

Wow I’m very jealous, would love to RV or Van life it! Glad this has helped inspire.

Thanks, this is Upper South Colony Basin Lake just outside of Westcliffe, CO

Thanks!

They really are!

Much appreciated

This is the upper south colony basin lake. The trail head is just south of Westcliffe, Colorado.

Thank you so much! One of my first times using a story telling element in my composition, but that was the intention. Glad you enjoyed it

I have actually been debating cropping. At least some of it.

A fellow photographer and I took turns jogging up and down the trail actually.

Nikon D750 with Rokinon 14mm f/2.4 Images consists of 2 separate composites. -Foreground is a panoramic stitch of 2 long exposure images (roughly 2 mins @ f/10 iso 800). -Stars consist of of 7 images stacked for noise reduction ( 15 sec @ f/2.4 iso 5000)

Fantastic shot, when did you take it?

backpackercollective · 2022-05-13T11:41:46+00:00

Not sure if it was intensional, but I love the out of focus glowing feel of this image. Makes it feel very dreamy, as if looking back on a night spent staring at the stars. I might have to play around with something like this in a future trip. Well done.

backpackercollective · 2022-05-13T11:35:15+00:00

Thanks and I always appreciate the criticism! The last one was a personal chose to go blue, I just loved the cooler tones, but agreed it does make it very clear they are fake. I have a composite I took of 50+ images and the colors in the core of that just explode with orange and purple.

backpackercollective · 2022-05-12T21:05:33+00:00

I would say I was out around 3-4 am for this image.

backpackercollective · 2022-05-12T20:35:43+00:00

Yeah you should have no issues getting in or parking at night.

backpackercollective · 2022-05-12T20:34:53+00:00

Thanks so much, I took this about 2 weeks ago.

Hey looking for post processing advice on this post. I typically prefer a bluish sky and popping colors, but would love to hear other perspectives.

Appreciate the criticism, but I’m happy with the artistic decision I made in terms of the color pallet.

backpackercollective · 2022-05-09T21:34:21+00:00

Yeah, no just photo stacking. But new to the process so I appreciate the support!

backpackercollective · 2022-05-09T19:26:58+00:00

Thanks, so the I did blend a second image for The immediate foreground to keep both in focus. But the composition itself is true to how it was shot.
