When I was first learning to use "Layers" in Photoshop - I nearly died slipping on the ice out in the middle of nowhere after dark getting this shot- LOL! The shot came out... well... mostly ok. The trees on the blend are a bit iffy, but whatever. I had to have my tripod and camera set up in the exact same place for about 2 hours- from "blue hour" until the stars came out good and solid #NoiseCash
