      Captured using 2 exposures. Giants Castle, South Africa. Although this isnt possible to capture a scene like this with one exposure, I feel it does represent what I saw that evening. Foreground Painted with Light.

      Awesome work Mark. I take it the 456s is for the FG exposure. Did you up the iso for the exposure of the sky?

      Thanks folks - yip the foreground was the 456sec exposure, and the sky was a quick exposure of ISO 3200, f/2.8 and 25seconds. I had to change the focussing as well to render the stars sharp.

      Some next level stuff here Mark. Awesome. Can't wait to see what you'll do with the two extra stops of the D3s

      Did you just auto align the layers with the different focusing?

      I like the effect you got by combining the two exposures, especially the way you kept it "night like" - foreground not to bright. WD.
