The Standley Chasm in the West MacDonnell Ranges. Over thousands of years water cut through these rocks leaving a 80 meter high and in some places 9 meter wide gap.

Location
This photo was taken in the at the Standley Chasm in the West MacDonnell Ranges National Park Australia.Time
This picture was taken a few hours after sunset. The walk from the campground takes just a few minutes and after a nice supper we went to the chasm with my new torch.Lighting
I just used my torch to light up the wall in front of me as I stand in the chasm.Equipment
Canon EOS 70D, Sigma f2.8 10mm Fisheye, tripod, torch,Inspiration
I was allways fascinated by night skies. Trying to capture the beauty of the night was just the next step for me.Editing
I just did some minor color and contrast adjustments.In my camera bag
My Canon EOS 70D, the Sigma f2.8 10mm Fisheye and a Tokina f2.8 11-16mm both mostly for night and landscape photography, a Sigma f1.4 30mm and a Sigma f2.8 70mm Macro. For Wildlife I have a Sigma 150-500mm Tele.Feedback
The Outback of Australia is one of the best places to photograph nightskies. If you wait for a new moon you will see an jaw dropping milky way. To get a photo with a big part of the milky way you should consider to use a wide angle lens. And you definitely need a tripod because of the long exposure.
