Painting with Light

Arches National Park - Moab, Utah

I was on my way up to Salt Lake City, Utah via Hwy191 for a delivery and had some extra time for pictures. It was 2:00a.m., I dropped my trailer in the visitor parking and bobtailed up the hill to the Windows section. After arriving to North Window, I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful the sky was. I decided to try a technique called 'Painting with Light' in which you take a long exposure while painting your subject matter with your flash light. This was my first attempt at 'Painting with Light'.
Photographed with an ISO of 3200 or H-1 on the D-80, aperture set to f/2.8 with a timed exposure of 55 seconds. Photo © copyright by Erik and Melissa Barnes.
