Location
This photo was taken at McWay Falls near Big Sur, CaliforniaTime
It was just after sunset and of blue hour...Lighting
It was almost full moon (more then 3 quarters) so everything was lighted by moon light. I waited almost 30 min to get moon out of the picture and then got perfect condition. Such cloudless nights are very rare at Pacific cost, so I was extremely lucky.Equipment
D800, 16mm Fisheye lens and tripod.Inspiration
The place is majestic. I came there several times, but never was lucky to get stars.Editing
Not much post-processing. Typical night photography adjustments in Lightroom.In my camera bag
