Angela’s View Point
We had several locations intended for this night, but a combination of smoke and killer mosquitos changed our plans. Our last option was the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest at 10,000 feet, which we hoped would escape the smoke. Along the way we stopped to explore this scenic overlook. I was stoked to see the sky was clear and I would be getting a few more Milky Way shots before our weekend getaway came to an end. My fiancée Angela wanted to do some light drawing, so we had some fun taking turns running up this hill with our flashlights. Only laughs became of those. She then wanted this sign in the image and totally dialed in the comp. At one point we passed the flashlight back and forth, each painting light on different areas. We collaborated on processing, too. The saturation here is Angela approved, and she gave me a bunch of diffuse filter examples to try. It took me a while to come up with this effect in PS, but I think this is a close match to using a diffuse filter on the lens, and provides visual interest.
EXIF
Canon 6D 20 sec f/2.8 ISO 6400 .. 4 sequential images
