The Milky Way rising above the Paint Mines Open Space in Calhan, Colorado.
This is a composite image made from two exposures, one for the Milky Way and a second for the foreground. Rebekah light painted the rocks with a flashlight to illuminate them and add interest to the image while I took a long exposure photo. I then combined the two exposures in Photoshop.
This was taken with a Canon 70D DSLR camera and a Tokina 11=16mm f/2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX lens.
