@Tommyr I'll take light pollution and what causes it and not live like people in Afghanistan. A quick trip to the countryside and you see the same thing.

its a little grainy because the iso would have been set quite hi and i recon a long exposeure for the stars. yes its probaly been shopped with 2 or 3 images merged onto one. they might have even used a torch to pait light on the rock behind them.
Its a little overexposed for my liking but nice work though, startrails.co.uk is a good bit of software for night pics.

@MudMan
I would say a 15sec exposure using a digital cam. The soldiers were probably in almost complete darkness.

@ommadawn thats probably about 12 seconds as it is and that guys faces are nearly burnt white. it would be impossible to get a perfect picture with the stars like that.

@420pm na its easy to merge, (i do it all the time, with my sony A77 ).
as i said a little over exposed and should have dropped the ISO to 50 or 80. took 3 - 4 shots and merged. Besides us discussing our photography skills the guy who took it has acheived what he wanted,,,,,, 3 guys discussing how he did it, Perfect i would say !
