The Pleaides (the Seven Sisters) star cluster, and the stars of late autumn and winter rising over Elbow Falls in Kananaskis Country in Alberta, on a moonlit night, with a waxing gibbous Moon providing the illumination. This is a 20-second exposure at f/2.8 with the 24mm lens and Nikon D750 at ISO 1250. A brief wash of LED light painted the foreground water.
Stars over Elbow Falls in the Kananaskis area of southern Alberta, shot under the light of the gibbous Moon on the last night of summer, September 22, 2015. The aspens were in full fall foliage on a very clear, mild night. This is a stack of 6 images, one for the sky and 5 for the ground, with the latter median combined to smooth noise. All were shot with the 24mm lens at f/4 and Nikon D750 at ISO 1250 for 30 seconds each. I painted the falls with an LED light for a few seconds to better illuminate the water that was in shadow.
The autumn constellations of Cassiopeia and Perseus above goldern aspen trees on a moonlit autumn night, with the Andromeda Galaxy at right. I shot this, along with many other shots on this superb night, at the Elbow Falls area in Kananaskis area, Alberta. This is a single 20-second exposure with the 24mm lens at f/2.5 and Nikon D750 at ISO 1000.
