Star Trails in Downtown Salt Lake City

Night Photography
Written By Matt Hill

Last night I stayed in Salt Lake City on my way from San Francisco (well, San Francisco to Reno) to Denver. After having some bourbons at Bourbon House (I highly recommend going!), I headed back out to make some night shots in Temple Square.

3-shot HDR to capture the REALLY bright spotlights, mid tones and deep shadows mixed to taste in Silver Efex Pro 2. What look like imperfections in the reflection are actually my 3rd exposure made to get the coins in the reflecting pool.

2-minute exposure. Star trails in a metro downtown. Unheard of!

This is just to the right of the above frame. I love soft water :)

LDS Headquarters. 20x 1-minute exposures stacked in Ps.
