Palouse Falls - Art

I combined two photos taken at Palouse Falls. The land and another for the sky. The land - while the sun was just peeking over the horizon with strong gold tones. The overall color was adjusted and darkened to match colors & tones of night-sky. The stars were taken from a spot at 3am a tad south of this location….so it is not precisely accurate of true location of the stars over that horizon, though close. I enhanced the tones & colors a bit to match the landscape tones that I had envisioned. Then I did as simple blend of sky and land using the clone tool.

Nikon d800e with Nikon 14-24mm lens.

Ken - this is a simply awesome creation. It shows your mastery of post processing skills, plus a creative mind for putting this together.

This is amazing and gorgeous. So much to look at and enjoy in this one, and it has an almost dream-like quality.
