Myself and my mate Dennis shooting the milky way at lake Ellesmere after a workshop

Usually I'm beat after spending several hours teaching, not normally a people person but I love doing this stuff.. Still kills me..

But couldnt resist shooting this and getting Dennis in the frame on the right

@Rjdlandscapes I'm curious about how you made it: merged a long exposure night shot with a day shot. The foreground lighting is too even to have been done by fill flash... Please comment

@stevehelfand no fill light , no double exposure etc just natural light on the foreground , a little moon a little light pollution
@Rjdlandscapes the other photographer seems so clear. Did he just not move for the length of the exposure?
@stevehelfand He's stood pretty still but is a little blurry at 100%
