5/27/08 - Painting with Light

After doing my first outdoor light painting image earlier this month - http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/96504105 - I've been looking for another subject. Tried this one tonight but don't care for it as much as the first one.
Really needed two lights for today's PAD. My 3,000,000 candlepower torch overpowers the little falls in the foreground. Had to try stabbing the switch on/off rapidly so as not to blow this area out. A regular flashlight (which I didn't have) would have worked better - but the gazebo still needed all 3,000,000 candlepower.
Adding to the challenge was a rock scramble in the dark with camera gear & tripod - all the while being gnawed on by tiny critters. Note to self - try using the Deet on your body instead of just inside the container.

I like! And can't image the work that went into capturing this image. Maybe one day you'll have a team of assistants. :)

Beautiful night shooting and perspective Ed.
