Still working on my files from last Spring at Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness in New Mexico. This one was taken at the beginning of the blue hour in the morning.
Canon 1dMIII, Canon 16-35 mm at 16mm, 3.2 sec, 1600 ISO, and light painted the hill with a spotlight. Converted to BW with OnOne.

Nice texture and contrast -- light painting an entire hill seems an ambitious undertaking!

Nice to see some stars - The black triangle where your signature is - I am not a fan! - I'd drop this to a 4x5 from the top and get rid of that corner.

While my first inclination was also to crop from the top, when I studied the sky I changed my mind because the Big Dipper would be truncated.

Cropping the bottom isn't going to crop the dipper. I meant a 4x5 crop from the top down - removing the bottom

I have 2 portable spotlights at 3,million candle power apiece. But my flashlight is usually enough.
