Canon EOS R5 camera, Canon 16 to 35 mm lens, Really Right Stuff ballhead, Gitzo tripod

I used Adobe Lightroom and then Photoshop, lastly removing noise in Topaz DeNoise.

Image Details:

This image was taken at an arch in the Eastern Sierra Nevada. It was taken about 10 p.m. when the Milky Way was at it's brightest to my eye. I was attempting to get the Galactic Center within the arch. A fellow photographer I met up with provided the light painting with a small light panel.
