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 Downtown LA.
This shot overlooks Dodger Stadium with Downtown in the background. Again, the bottom of the sky has been illuminated a bit from the foreground shot by allowing the lighter color in the foreground to show. One of the things I’ve also tried to do is get the Milky Way to be in the appropriate place given the direction that the picture was shot. This is taken to the south, so I used a more late season(August) Milky Way shot. This shot also includes a bonus meteor.
