The Big Dipper and the Little Dipper turning around Polaris (at left) over the North Window Arch at Arches National Park, Utah, with a sky brightening with moonlight. A wash from an LED flashlight provided some foreground illumination. This is a stack of 4 x 45-second exposures with the Rokinon 14mm lens at f/2.8 and Canon 6D at ISO 3200.
The Big Dipper on its handle swinging up over the West Mitten butte at Monument Valley, Arizona/Utah border. This is a single exposure illuminated by moonlight, of 60 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 500 with the 24mm lens and Canon 6D. I shot this April 4, 2015 on a partly cloudy night, with the nearly Full Moon rising in the east.
