Stars setting in trails over the Athabasca Glacier and Columbia Icefields, Sept 14, 2014. These images were taken after moonrise so the sky and landscape are bright. This is a stack of 100 exposures, composited with Advanced Stacker Plus actions in Photoshop, with Comet effects, with the ground coming from a subset stack of 8 images to reduce noise. Each exposure, taken as part of a time-lapse sequence, was 45 seconds at f/2.8 with the 16-35mm lens at 23mm and Canon 6D at ISO 4000.

The stars setting into the west over the Columbia Icefields and Athasbasca (left) and Stutfield (right) glaciers, and Snowdome peak. I shot this Sept 6 under very clear skies and a bright waxing gibbous Moon off frame at left. I shot this from the moraine at the upper parking lot. This is a stack of 100 frames, each 20 seconds at f/2.8 with the 16-35mm lens at 22mm and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1000. One frame was selected for the foreground, to ensure sharp shadows. Two other frames supply the point-like stars at the beginning and end of the trails. Stacked with Advanced Stacker Plus actions in Photoshop.
