Upon further reflection

Pete Scifres from Westlake Village, California

Reflection Canyon, located at the end of an 8-mile hike into Utah’s Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, serves as the foreground for this view of the spring Milky Way. The photographer captured the sky with a Canon mirrorless camera and a 15-second exposure at f/1.8 and ISO 4000 with a 24mm lens. The foreground is a separate 2-second exposure at blue hour at f/11 and ISO 200.
