19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Night to Day, Toroweap Lookout, Grand Canyon

This panorama shows the same scene from nighttime (Milky Way on left) to blue hour (Crescent Moon in center) to sunset (sunburst on right). This is a technique to show the progression of time in a single scene. Complete panoramas were taken at each time and then blended together in Photoshop. The camera did not move the entire time.
