Thank you Stan.

An outstanding image. Great work!

thank you.

very interesting image, with star trails looking like meteors: getting stronger towards the finish. -- How did you do that. Can you tell us the trick?

It's a normal long exposure time lapse using StarStax, and a layered foreground.

There's other ways to do this as well in Photoshop, using lighter opacity layers and light blend.

Thanks, I'll look into varing the opacity along the layer edge. It'll take some experementation.

Fantastic shot toxictabasco! Your photo could very well adorn the cover page of a scifi bestseller! I spent a day in Death Valley last march but couldn't stay till sunset (sigh). Perhaps this year on my way to SF. Cheers from Montreal, Canada!

Thank you, I wish you the best, have a safe and great trip.
