Wondering how others work with this.
I'm pretty comofrtable with my approach and technique to capturing stars in the landscape but foregrounds can be a pain.
I sometimes do a little light painting but I often don't love the slightly unnatural look it can give though admit it can look great.
I also have tried to do a (very) long exposure for the foreground at low ISO to blend later in PS. Trouble is, this can literally take a half hour exposure. When I'm stood in the cold in the dark with only weird noises for company, I rarely have the will power to wait that long.
I've heard a few people talk about how they grab a foreground exposure in twilight which I guess could work quite well but must be a serious time commitment to then stay on without moving the tripod and wait for the dark skies.
Just curious to hear how others approach this. .
