This is one 30 second single exposure processed twice through Lightroom 5 - once for the foreground, once for the sky - and blended via Photoshop CS5.
An Eta Aquarid fireball meteor streaks through the sky while I was capturing the reflections of the Milky Way and some trees in a local pond. The orange hue on the horizon is light pollution in the light cloud cover. This image was chosen as NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day for May 9, 2014.
In this image the Moon is close to setting just after midnight on the road to Goblin Valley State Park near Green River, Utah. Photo Tip: Always look behind you when photographing anything! Processed through Lightroom 5 & Photoshop CS5.
