Beautiful. I want to live right there in that moment of time, not ever wanting things to change. Eternity in an image.
I really love how this image represents time. That rock has been eroded by wind and weather for hundreds and maybe thousands of years. The stars you see are millions of years old and many of them may not exist any longer. And the sun rising for what is known as an earthly day. All of this in one photograph that was captured in one tenth of a second of our time, and here you have eternity and infinity visualized before us. INCREDIBLE.
VERY well done.

a beautiful photo that is totally believable in terms of its colors (Don't spoil it for me if its not true!)

Is this a manipulation of the sun filtered to create a "moon effect"? I've seen and created similar photos is why I ask.

Location
Mesa Arch, Canyonlands National Park, Utah, USA Video: http://craigbill.com/photo20351604.htmlTime
Middle of the night.Lighting
I stayed up almost the entire night filling my camera with images before the sunrise crowds showed up. One nighttime event I anticipated was the moonrise. I knew about what time the Moon would peek over the horizon, so I set up and waited as the bright white glow increased. At the same time I prepared to “light paint” the shaded side of Mesa Arch with a flashlight. When the moment arrived with a blaze of moonlight, I started the exposure and began painting the arch with light. I am glad I was ready for this lunar-arch event because the Moon rose in such a place on the horizon that it only showed itself under the arch for a mere few minutes before I was unable to position the camera optimally. I love how the canyons below are drenched in moonlight - a soft ethereal glow under star-burst filtered moonbeams framed up by the arches’ nocturnal stretch.Equipment

I love nighttime photographyEditing
I had to sharpen a bit, color correct the rock, and reduce noise some. Also dodged and burnt local too dark and too bright areasIn my camera bag

Plann ahead and also don't be intimadated by low light photography. Give it a try and find yourself with an uncommon, rare and rewarding image.
