Image Location : Andalucian coast, Spain.

With the dawn of a new day and also a new year we wish you many great adventures in the year ahead. Happy New Year!
We are ringing in 2019 along the Andalucian coast at a campsite that is hard to beat. It’s just us and a few other campers, rhythmic waves that lull us to sleep, a sky full of stars, and a soft, sandy beach. January is off to a great start for us!
We hope that 2019 is off to a great start for you as well and that the year ahead will be a promising, inspiring and fulfilling one for you. All the best to you throughout the year ahead!

This image was captured at night, using a tripod-mounted Sony A7R2 camera and a Canon EF 17mm f/4.0 TS/E lens, which was manually focused using live view on the town. I was using a tripod and a remote for the two exposures. The camera was set to Manual single exposure mode at f/8.0, ISO 100 and Daylight white balance.
The first image at 20 seconds was of the stars.
The second image at 8 seconds was for the landscape.
There was a simple layer mask to join these two images in Photoshop. All this work was done in Adobe Bridge with all the processing and final adjustments done in Photoshop CC.
