Delicate Arch, painting with light (SB-800)

            Even it is winter famous Delicate Arc was packed with people. I had to wait until it was dark to capture this wonder without any people underneath posing. It was a cloudy day so there was no reasonable light at all. So I have decided to paint it with my sb-800. 
Strobist info:
All manual, including focus. 30 sec exposure @ 1250 ISO.
I have triggered the camera with my cactus V5, which gives much more reliable results compared to IR remotes. I was standing left side of arch with my sb-800 which is stacked gelled with 1/2 and 1/4 CTO and set to 1/2 power. I popped the flash 3 or 4 times but I heavily feathered it otherwise left side of arc gets overexposed. Hope you  enjoyed the photo.
