Thanks for your response. Wish to order but am undecided on type of print. Framed ,unframed,canvas, unstreached, Fine art textured??
Is there someone I can speak to for advise?

Most beautiful image I have ever seen! Would like to purchase a print but I am confused. The title is shown as "Untouchable beauty"
but when I click to order the title changes to "Mc Way Falls" item #R069.
Can some one please clarify.

Ed, they're 20 seconds exposures. Of course, the meteor only needs a fraction of that within that timeframe to show up. It's a 20mm prime lens at f/2.5, on a Canon 5D Mark II. No need to worry about blurry clouds or star trails with that exposure time and focal length.

Awesome work! I am extremely curious about what combination of aperture size, detector and exposure time captured enough photons for that much detail of the Milky Way, yet did not blur the clouds? ~1s? given the length of the meteor trail.

Beautiful setting and a grand image. Thank you for sharing your images. This is one in a million/billion!

Super nice and very unexpected shot Rogelio. I knew the location immediately, but the exotic appearance of your photo really made me stop and admire what you had created. You've provided a very fresh look at a much photographed location. That takes imagination and skill. Well done.

Thanks everyone for stopping by!

Craig, your words are almost overwhelming, what can I say?

Jim, the exposures were all 30 seconds (as you said, on a tripod, no tracking). With a 20mm lens, 30 seconds barely produce any star trails.

Anthony, the image integrates data captured during moonset and after moonset, as well as artificial light ("light painting"). Still, it's not very hard to pull data from the Milky Way when the moon is low. My image "Heavenly Melody" (http://www.deepskycolors.com/archive/2013/05/06/heavenly-Melody.html) is all "one shot" (actually an 8 pane mosaic, but all data captured with the Moon already out) and the Milky Way came out just fine - not as obvious as in this image but again, in that image the Moon was right below the MW, not opposite. Also, sky darkness at Lake Tahoe is not the same as in this area of the Pacific Coast. Point being, capturing the Moon and a clearly visible Milky Way is not at all unusual if you have the right conditions.

Awesome. Could you write the constellations name in Spanish too? I now Big Dipper is Osa Mayor, but i'm not sure about the other ones. Some are the same thou.
Beautiful job.

BTW, the composition of this sot is great! Really like the Milky Way alignment with the gap in the foliage.

No star trails, but a crisp foreground as well so it doesn't appear to be on a tracking mount. Interested in what the image data for this shot was, mainly the exposure time?

Beautiful photo! I love Big Sur and the Milky Way, so a picture of both is a treat. One question: there seems to be moonlight coming from the West / right side of the image, but on April 20, 2013 the Moon had already set by 4:00 am. If that is moonlight, I'm surprised you were able to get such a good picture of the Milky Way on a night when there was a waxing gibbous Moon.
