Thanks to my good friend TJ for holding still with a really bright flashlight while I got this 30 second exposure. This area of the UAE is called Al Quaa, and it has the least light pollution in the whole country. It was a new moon, and I couldn't remember the last time I saw so many stars!
That lower blue beam behind the dune was this Jeep with off-roading headlights that showed up just as we started shooting. It annoyed me at the time but I guess it looks kind of cool in the shot.
Thanks to all for the great votes and comments!
