Description
Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area is located a few miles west of Las Vegas, approximately 1000 ft. higher than the valley floor, thus it is a bit colder/cooler. In this occasion, I woke up at 5:00 AM to make sure I would have a few minutes to shoot the stars and the moon over the craggy peaks of the Rainbow Wilderness, and then accessed the park, which opens early for climbers and bicycle riders. This image was made from the Calico Hills Overlook. Not multiple exposures, but one. The use of graduated neutral density filters is indispensable in this kind of high contrast photography. I hope you like it!
