This is one of those photographs. I took this photo after the night photography workshop I attended. I was trying to put to use some of the light painting techniques that I learned. I chose this site because some of the other attendees photographed it and I thought it was a great location. The bonus was the moon rising behind it. I decided to use my 9-bladed Canon 16-=35mm lens with a smaller aperture in order to capture a starburst. You might notice that it&#8217;s not completely round. That&#8217;s because the moon was not a full moon.<\/p>\n<p>I lit the base of the subject with two strands of &#8220;fairy lights&#8221; and the bottom of the top rock with a smaller incandescent flashlight. This helped create the mysterious glow which makes one ponder what could be in there. The front of the rocks were briefly lit to bring out some of the detail.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12653\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12653\" style=\"width: 1125px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/20170506-hidden-valley-cave-20-edit.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12653\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2017\/07\/light-painting-2\/light-painting-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/20170506-hidden-valley-cave-20-edit.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1125,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;11&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
