Thanks Ed. I think (don’t hold me on that) I got it in between flashes, so most of the scene is ambient light. The moon was coming up over the Sangre de Christos which was enough to give the Sky some light, but not enough to drown out the stars. I shot this with a Nikon D750 using a Tamron 15-30 f/2.8, 20 second exposure f4.5 and ISO 1000. Initial edits were in Lightroom, and I’ve been using Color Efex Pro for a few years now, and moved into there for the final product.
