The Invasion
This watershed can be found at the base of Mount Diablo, about three miles from my home. I got creative and did a two minute exposure and painted it with three colors of light.

Awesome – I need to try this with future long exposures. Painting rocks!

perfection!
MattGranz replied
Thanks Kenny! I just read an article where it described how most people achieve this multi colored look by doing several shots, one with each color and then doing some layers work in Photoshop… that never once occured to me as I ran around this thing for two minutes with my single flashlight, changing gels… funny huh?

Indeed I actually laughed out loud. But I too dont know of the PS ways. I bet its far more rewarding, and fun, although tiresome the way you did it. Which makes it even more impressionable :D

Personally for me, what I dig is that I’m all over this photo… but invisible. That’s cool stuff! Thanks again for the comment!
