Who’s the source @OP?

That is gorgeous
Playster845
That's absolutely stunning

I read bolivian salt farts. Quite disappointed
PoopyProblem5
Thats gonna leave a lotta rust
SupposablyPersnickity
Sparkly!

Christ, can you imagine the humidity?

I've spent plenty of time on those salt flats in Ghost Recon Wildlands... it never looked *that* good!

Uyuni!

Where are all the UFO spaceships NASA doesn’t want us to know about?

I absolutly love that country. Beautiful, and the people are so lovely.
NOINOON
Good bye axles and frame.
PrfctDrk
Bolivia? Ah that one country in Ghost Recon Wildlands! /sarcasm
groovydawgs
Airstream should use that for marketing.....
YouHadMyCuriosityNowYouHaveMyAttention
Yeah, except salt corrodes Airstreams really quickly. Will have to wash that thing down thoroughly when they get home! (Beautiful picture)
LoadedBakedPotatoes
Wash it down as soon as possible. Airstream needs to put a protective clear coating on their trailers.

*A little bit of water, and a little bit of photoshop.

What sort of aperture exposure saturation is this?
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
I’m gonna say aperture is almost irrelevant, as long as you get low iso and at least 20 seconds exposure. Source: I also do stuff like that
fyrstormer
Timelapse. Look at the bottom and you'll see smearing from where the camera was rotating the wrong direction to track the reflected stars.
Bonsaipanda
*Long exposure

Just don't take a bag of Bolivian Salt through the airport. You'll be another story on Locked Up Abroad.
Drachenbar
Guys, its salt, it can look like drugs
RealityIsOftenDisappointing
Forbidden salt...
PrfctDrk
Illegally removing shit from their country I would imagine is the reason? Just like in Hawaii or whatever you can't remove black sand?
RuthlessRuben
On Hawaii, the story als has a deadly curse at least. Most other places it's a draconic response to a slippery slope argument.
wick3dwank3r
Can I ask why is that something special salt or something?
NOINOON
I guess the ecosystem is special and they want to prevent it's destruction. Dunno how one gets a caravan in there.

Are there really places where the sky looks like this or os it just camera effects and photoshop?
OstinPower2020
Photoshop and long exposure. I bet in real life is pretty too though.
illegalacorn
nowhere in the world looks like this without time lapse
NOINOON
Time lapse is series of "regular still photos" shown as animation. This is long exposure photography.
fyrstormer
Timelapse photography. The Milky Way is not that bright, even if you're in space where there's no air to diffuse the light.
NOINOON
Time lapse is an animation technique. This is long exposure photography.
gowild
The sky doesn't look like that anywhere without serious photoshopping
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
Definitely enhanced in Adobe Lightroom. You expose the sky for about 30 seconds in RAW, then in Lightroom add clarity, contrast, detail. 1/2
AnthropomorphicMilkshake
Also, in the reflections on the griund there are fewer stars and they are more blurry, which suggests the image being stitched from two.
Tankgirl79
Thank you
jimmityjammity
Look at the reflection, that's how the sky actually looked. Notice how stars become smeared.
jimmityjammity
It's an artifact of the long exposure but you can see it's not as filled with tiny stars. Milky way very clear though.
NOINOON
You're partly on the right track. The "smear" comes from the camera not being rotated to match earth's rotation. The photo is a combination>
jimmityjammity
I didn't mean the stars were smeared IRL, just that it was an accurate representation of what human eye would see in amount of stars
jimmityjammity
It's a really condescending comment for someone who didn't read the second part of the comment.
NOINOON
>of two long exposure photos from the same location. Sky was shot with camera rotation, the caravan was shot static. >
Yellowdart49
I'd love to see a sky like that some day
lalalalsblablabal
Doesn’t exist. If it did you could read a book at night without extra light source. Look how clear that trailer is.
SephReed
Wait for a clear night, with no moon. Drive as far from city lights as you can. Take lsd. Lay on a blanket. Your eyes will adjust.
itsahorse
This guy has no idea what he's talking abou...... Nevermind
OstinPower2020
Doesn't exist. Tons of post-production here... Pretty though.
fyrstormer
You can't see a sky like that with the naked eye. The Milky Way isn't that bright. This was a timelapse photo.
StigsMilwaukeeCousin
While i agree, I've been a couple hundred miles offshore with no major cities around and once you eyes adjust its pretty incredible.
itsahorse
And a bunch of photo editing. Would be cool to see the making of this picture.
keenharlequin
In fact, the sky is straight up photoshopped in. You can see star trails from long exposure in the reflection, but not in the sky.
fyrstormer
As keenharlequin said, the camera was rotating slowly to track the sky, and the smudged reflections on the ground are an artifact of that.
keenharlequin
To take a sky pic like that, you have to have a tracking camera, which would in turn smudge the stationary objects on the ground.
Cweston
Can also tell it isn't tracked because of the streak from the satellite/plane. It would be majorly skewered if it was tracked.
Cweston
Nah, You can get similar with 30 second exposure at this wide of an angel. You wouldn't notice the star streaking unless you pixel peaked.
