Composites…
I’ve posted composites here before, anytime that I’ve used the skytracker(foregrounds look rather funny when the camera is moving to follow the sky and the foreground doesn’t), the foreground has been shot separately and then been blended with the sky. These are a bit different, for some reason they cannot exist in nature. The key is to make them look like they could exist by blending the two photos together so they don’t look like they’ve just been slapped together.

Milky Way over Red Cliffs
While you can see the Milky Way from the parking area by the Red Cliffs in Red Rock State Park, the cliffs are to the north of the parking area and the Milky Way's galactic center is to the south. The foreground of the Red Cliffs are from a twilight shot and the Milky Way was actually shot in Gaviota with the light from the off-shore oil platforms giving the illusion of the small light dome from Ridgecrest.
