This image was made during a back packing trip with my kids to the Elephant's Perch area near Stanley Idaho. The image is a blend of an exposure at sunset and a 30 minute exposure at about midnight. It was exciting for me to see the composition line up like I had envisioned with the north star directly above Elephant's Perch. I used the Blend If feature of Photoshop to bring in the star trails layer creating a natural looking skyline.
