Best Seat in the House - Joshua Tree National Park Milky Way and tent

I had this idea in mind for our past trip out to Joshua Tree we just wanted to find a nice little cluster of trees to fill the frame with. We spotted this set as we were walking back from shooting startrails at the Wall Street Mill. We setup the tent, I climbed in using my iPhone to illuminate, and he fired both cameras. Since we took a few exposures, I stacked a few for the foreground to reduce noise, and just used one of the images for the sky with Topaz DeNoise for noise reduction. Love how the iPhone light, while dim, gets picked up by the camera’s high ISO providing a subtle hint of light on trees. Nikon D750, Nikkor 14-24, f/2.8, 15 sec, ISO-6400
