Backpacking on the White Sands in New Mexico was quite the experience. The silence was deafining and peaceful. The white sand didn't get hot so I walked around barefoot most of the time, it was freezing cold at night so I kept my boots on for this shot at 3am! Taken with a 24mm rokinon, 2 images...one for the foreground at ISO 1600 for 2 minutes and the sky at ISO 6400 for 20 seconds both at f/2, I manually blended them together and used luminosity masks to enhance the image.
