After ten miles of dry, desert hiking, you come around the corner to this incredible view of Havasu Falls. Havasupai Indian Reservation, Arizona [OC][3830x5567]
The hike in to the campgrounds at Havasupai is about 10 miles in. Been wanting to check this place out for a while, and finally grabbed some permits this year (they open up for the whole year on Feb 1st, and they sell out in about 5-10 minutes).
I took this picture at about 9PM. The moon was out, which is why I was able to get a lot of details on the rocks with relatively little noise. I shot this with a Rokinon 24mm 1.4 lens which is incredible for low light and astrophotography. Single image - 13 second exposure, ISO 800, f/1.8. Such an incredible place.
I was there in 1976. We started at four or five in the morning, and got there about eleven. The hike out began before sunset a few days later, and was incredible in the moon-lit canyon.
It's been interesting to see how the place has changed over the years. Not only does the waterfall erode the rock, but a rope swing on a tree that would have been in the bottom of your pic is no longer there.

This is gorgeous. How am I seeing stars and daylight? Is it because of the long exposure?

Excellent long exposure!
