Imperial Point Milky Way, Grand Canyon

This is an image taken at Imperial Point on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA. This is a combination of 2 photos, a 30 second exposure for the sky and a 12 minute 40 second exposure for the foreground. Sky - 30 sec, f 2.8, Sigma 15 mm fisheye lens, ISO 6400. Foreground - 12 min 40 sec. f 2.8, 15 mm, ISO 2000. It is really dark down there, than I thought! Since the canyon is lit by starlight, which is basically coming from everywhere, the lighting of the canyon itself is very flat, with few shadows.

Thanks for taking the time to look. Hope you enjoy! Your time, faves, and comments are much appreciated!
