The foreground is a single image taken with the 75mm f1.8. The night sky is a stack of 30 images taken with the 7.5mm f3.5 fisheye. Both taken on the same night with this shot in mind. The moon was up for the foreground and set for the sky.

On the way back to our hotel I stopped at Valley View. I do it every time possible, maybe 20 times now. On this occasion I was headed down to the spot past about 20 other photographers. I slipped on some ice and landed on my back, on a rock! A few people around asked if I was ok, I acted cool and got up said "yes thank you" and dragged myself to this spot. My lens hood smashed and a kind lady gave me back a piece of it :). I took this shot (only one) and pulled myself back to the car with my tail between my legs. There I found I crushed my finger when I fell, it was in between the tripod legs which closed during the incident. This pic still isn't my vision for this place. I never seem to get the right conditions here.. I'll get you yet Valley View even if it takes me another 10 years.

P.S. I'm pretty much recovered
