The stars of autumn rising over Mount Kerkeslin and Athabasca Falls in Jasper National Park, Alberta, on a night with a waxing quarter Moon illuminating the landscape. I shot this Sept 3, 2014. This is a stack of 100 images (out of 165 shot in a time-lapse series), each 45 seconds at f/2.8 with the 14mm Rokinon lens, and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 3200. The landscape comes from one image shot at the beginning of the sequence with a higher Moon lighting up more of the landscape. Even so, the falls were dark and in shadow. The star trails were created by stacking in Photoshop with the Advanced Stacker Plus actions from Star Circle Academy, using the Comets mode.
The stars of the northern sky circling in star trails over Bow Falls, on the Bow River, Banff, Alberta. This is a stack of 80 images, each 30 seconds at f/4 and ISO 800 with the 24mm lens and Canon 5D MkII. Stacked with Advanced Stacker Plus actions using Long Streak effect. The foreground is from one exposure. and includes a faint moonbow at right over the falls as well as two people who wandered in for a look and stood still long enough for a single exposure.
