Captured somewhere in Nevada, September of 2017. I was roughly 8-10 miles away from this scene here. This is a single exposure captured @ 321mm. © MIKE CLASEN PHOTOGRAPHY http://www.mikeclasenphotography.com
It's interesting how the last photographs captured on a shoot that are thought to be 'photo dud's', often end up being the ones that are surprisingly the best. This image consists of a short focus stack of three images captured at different focus distances for the landscape portion, and an exposure blend of two separate exposures for the sky.

This is a self-portrait composite. This image is a focus stack consisting of 6 images for the landscape and sky, with the far focus distance for the sky and mountains being blended in during focus stacking. The 7th image is of the person reaching through the frame for the guitar. The location for this shoot was at Black Rock Desert, NV during a TMCC photography course field trip back in April 2015. Thanks, Pedro for firing the shutter! Thanks to Dean Burton, and the faculty at TMCC for taking the photography classes on this field trip, this image would not exist otherwise. © MIKE CLASEN PHOTOGRAPHY http://www.mikeclasenphotography.com
