Star Trails over erosion patterns in Pliocene-era bentonite clay in a former lake bed in Cathedral Gorge State Park, Nevada.
The eroded hills were partially lit by the moon, but also illuminated using a ProtoMachines LED2 light set to approximately the same color temperature as moonlight.

Single press of the shutter release, several adjacent images moderately post-processed (about a minute to capture and a couple of minutes to adjust). Done.
No compositing/time-shifting.
No tracking mount.
No noise images, no long exposure foreground images.
No special lighting, or added light.
No new camera or back-lit sensor.
No multiple focal lengths, no focus stacking.
No Photoshop, no layers, no sky or foreground substitution (just Lightroom and a shareware app or two).
Night photography doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming, or involve special gear beyond camera, lens, tripod. Many cameras produced in the last 13 years and probably all in the last 4-8 years can capture shots like this. I've re-processed images and produced great results from my 2009 Canon 5D Mark II and crop sensor 70D. Join our workshops to find out how!

The Pioche Mill sits behind "No Trespassing" signs, but I'm going to see if I can secure night access to this next year. This is facing west.
