Due to the direction of the canyon walls, Bryce Canyon generally presents more opportunities at sunrise than sunset.
This image is a panorama composite (two panorama images merged) from the same location.
Feature Image Details
I used a Canon 16-35MM F4 L Lens at 24mm for the land. It is a panorama of 8 images stitched together, cropped at the left just before sunrise.
I used a fixed focal length Rokinon 24MM F1.4 Lens for the night sky. For the sky, I also used a star tracker to keep the image sharp for 90 second exposures. The location was the same, but the shot was taken hours earlier.
If you are tracking the stars, by definition the land is blurry. This means two sets of images, one for the sky and one for the land plus an ability to blend them together.
