Thank you very much, Michael. I learned quite a bit on this particular shoot... and hope to improve my technique the next time. I wasn't completely happy with the focus on the stars, though.
It is very difficult to tell the results while looking at the LCD display in the camera. Had I not worked all day, driven all night and then played in this field for hours, I would have downloaded the pictures and seen the actual results. I'm happy but not 100%.
Best wishes, Dave

Thank you, Kiarang for the tips. Exactly the type of input I look for. I am by no means a professional photographer. I experiment and learn from others. So your input is welcomed.
Thanks, Dave

Indeed a very creative (& strange view and location), but think that exposure time wasn't perfect. (why 95seconds), and then iso 400 and F-stop= 5.0? closer f-stop, with lower iso sensitivity and more exposure time could be useful to enhance the quality, enhance the focusing , d.o.f and cause better result in the circle line of the stars.

Dave:
your use of light painting completely rules in these shots. I think that you break from the ordinary with light painting, and this is one of those roadside America stops where you've used the technique to a full advantage.

Thank you, G! Really appreciate that fine comment. I learned some lessons on this shoot and will try it again one of these days when the conditions are right. Mostly involving focal points.

Thank you, Barbara. I can't believe you've never heard of this, it's only a few hours from you. I've also noticed that it has been emulated quite frequently especially in OK. I saw a place near Tulsa that did this with a couple of cars.
It's really not just "some cars thrown in the sand", though. There is a whole method to the artist's madness. He actually engineered the holes so that the cars would be at the same exact angle, depth and direction.
It has become a major tourist attraction since the 70s. People are encouraged to put graffiti on the cars. Unfortunately, most pigs leave their empty paint cans strewn about even though the guy provides a dumpster. I moved about a hundred cans out of the picture and, because of the darkness, missed some.

Gracias Alicia. Tenía un buen rato ayer por la noche. Diablo consiguió usado hacia fuera. Estábamos hacia fuera allí por más de 3 horas y todos lo que él podría pensar alrededor conseguían de nuevo a su asiento cómodo del carro e iban a dormir. ¡Lo más mejor posible! Dave
