Boulders and Stars

"Painted" with a maglight in Joshua Tree NP. RAW file contains no

noticeable noise (unlike this jpg)--oh well. COmments, critiques

welcome!

Well painted, Tim. The picure is not very noisy, which is a surprise with a 36 minute exposure. The sensors seem to be getting better... Best wishes. Peter

Tim, how's it goin'? This came out really well! Question - What was your ISO, and aperture setting for taking this exposure? I'm assuming that it was a small f-stop as it is really crisp. How long did you paint the rock with the light? Really cool effect! A 7/6 anonymously. Cheers! Chris

Beautiful. Simple, yet bold. Wonderful colors. The image has an almost surreal feeling. Love it. :)

ISO was 100, at f5.6

I painted from the left, front and right side intermittantly for the full 36 minutes (a couple minutes here and there). Just had my sensor cleaned, so I don't know if that improved quality--certainly no dust!

One of the best "stars with long exposure" -photos I have seen.

Just posted a newer version of this. Check it out, please.
