if you can catch the trails, you don't need anything else super dramatic... Fuck, just set your bike wheel in the foreground, that would be coo

The bike wheel would be cool...hhhmmm. It's still a cool effect, it's an image that lets people know that the earth actually moves.

I was waiting for somebody to ask that First, no offense - don't sweat it.

It is one image, not two. We arrived at Arches Park just after sunset. I'll have to check the exif info, but I think I took this before midnight. The exposure was 1 hour almost to the second. In the raw file, it looks like a daylight shot; the sky is blue (but the stars are still there) and the arch and all it's details are lit up like daytime as well. It's actually coolor looking that the processed version you see here, but it had so much damn noise, I couldn't remove it and keep details from blurring.

So, I pushed the levels down to where the sky looked like it was night - when the shot was taken.
As for the glow of the sunset, I honestly cannot tell you exactly what it is, but I can tell you what it isnt: It's NOT the sun The set on the other side of the sky.

When you're out at arches, and look towards the city of Moab, you can see the city glow on the horizon. This glow will show up in a long exposure. I was pointed about 45 degrees north of Moab - I can only imagine there is a city or something out there, because there was a glow over it all night, and that's what caused what appears to be a sunset in my image.

By the way, I've been shooting nearly 6 years now, and I'm still learning too. These were my real attempts at star trails. Next time will be better for sure.

And thanks for taking the time to ask

Thank you so much for explaining. That really is an awesome shot, Now I must fave this knowing the details of it.

It is crazy how much light cities actually make I'm baffled by there power consumption

no problem... and thank you again.

I don' think I've ever seen so many stars at night as I did when at arches. You're right, light pollution in any city is outrageous. I sort of envy the people that got to see the night sky before electricity came about, it must have been incredible.

dig your sig too, btw

Thanks Sterling. While we were attempting these, there were some other dudes at another 'landscape' feature in the distance - the only reason we could tell was because we kept seeing these brilliantly powered flashlights painting the arch, a little at a time. I was hoping, in this shot, to be able to feature details in the arch, but with an hour long exposure, the noise was increcible.

(we did go out that day and get flashlights, and attempted to use them the next night....)
