We have had a several beautiful clear nights over the past couple of months here in Finland. I captured this photograph in Meri-Pori, Finland. The photograph is a combination of two pictures. The first taken after sunset and the second one a couple of hours later from the same point of view. This technique is called Vision of Depth, and you can learn more about it in my Star Photography Masterclass.

Post-processing
I used one of my Phase Presets to edit the photographs. First I used an overall look (Balanced) to fit my vision and then after combining the pictures I used another to create the atmospheric look to the image (Hazy - Morning Road).
