Hoodoos After Dark Composite I
Hoodoos After Dark Composite I

"Hoodoos in Technicolor." My Canon 6D and Canon EF 35mm f2.0 IS USM lens were mounted on a Manfrotto carbon fiber tripod with German-made Kaiser ball head. The moon was waxing, about 60% full. Light breezes, temperature in the upper 80s.

How did I do this shot? The exposure was ISO 200, aperture was f10, four separate shots each at 70 seconds. I used a $49 Vello timer. All four rocks were lit with a 2 D-cell LED Mag-Lite from the right side. I started with the rock on the right, which is about 10 feet tall. It was lit with a red theatrical cellophane gel in front of the flashlight. I "painted" the rock about 12 seconds. The next 70-second shot was done with a double-gelled deep straw theatrical gel in front of the flashlight. That rock was painted about 10 seconds. The third 70-second shot was with a lime theatrical gel. The rock was painted about 10 seconds. The lime-gelled image had the best sky, background and foreground, so it became my background image in Photoshop. The last 70-second shot was with a purple theatrical gel. I painted that rock about 20 seconds because the gel was dark. I had to take 18 shots to get the four shots I liked. This took me about 50 minutes to do. Taken on Friday, June 22, 2018.

The four images were composited together into one image in Photoshop. This was accomplished by making lots of feathered inverted selections and deletions in Photoshop layers. I sharpened the image slightly by using an onOne Effects HDR Look Exaggerated Edges n Tone layer.
