Location City -  Canyon de Chelly
State -  ARIZONA
Country - United States   United States
About I took a weekend photo journey to Canyon de Chelly in Arizona. 28 hours of non-stop photography (except for 3 hours sleep time). I shot the canyon at night for about 8 hours straight.

In this shot, the moon was at its best, un-obscured by clouds, which built until they ruined the shoot later. The tree on the left was heavily painted with a flashlight during the exposure. The foreground rock and tree on the right picked up some of the glow of the flashlight.

The glow you see on the horizon is Chinle, AZ. The lower clouds are a dissipating thunder storm from earlier in the evening. I was hoping the intense lightning would continue into the night but wasn't so lucky.

2 minute, 31 second exposure at ISO 100, f 5.0. This shot take at 11:47 PM

Thanks, Gary. I was happy with it, too. A lot of these shots don't come out.

I'm not sure why a rich girl like you wants to work anyway, Michele. :)

Magníficas capturas!!!
Ese árbol parece se propuso hacer juego con la aridez del entorno... retorcido y seco... una belleza!
Felicitaciones!!!

So you don't think my concept was "tacky"??? Cool... However, I don't think it would be great to have a "nekkid" woman or swaying drunken anyone in ALL your shots... lol...
This one just kind of gave me that image in my mind's eye.
Beautiful whichever way I view it... as is, or through my Full Moon Fever Fantasy/ Run-away Imaginitis.

You Rock!
No... I am no implying that you are the rock... never mind...

Hugs~
Ani :)

Thanks, Mike. The painting with light is so hit and miss... if you are not careful, it almost looks like you were just using a flash. Controlling the beam spread is also difficult. Most shots are a waste.

Best wishes,
Dave

Thank you, Ani... and believe me, you don't know how bad I would like to include a nekkid woman into these night shots...

I did get a drunken Navajo to pose for me on my Gallup shoot. Unfortunately, he swayed so much it was useless. LOL. I'm still laughing about that.

Kisses,
Dave

Wonderful shot Dave.
Great coloring and and awesome job lighting the tree.
I like the exposure as it you get the motion blur from the stars that almost look like fireworks.

Eerie romance is what I see and feel here CM Dave.
I imagine a naked woman crouching like a wild cat on the rock in the foreground... Not a full frontal nude... Howling at the Moon perhaps??? Too common? Tacky? Hmmm... Maybe... Full Moon fever on my part pobably... but I can almost see her there! (Wonder if she could say still for 2 mins 31 seconds... lol... or maybe the ghosting of her movement would be "interesting".)
I really love the mood of this shot, hon, and your night photography is becoming more and more amazing! As a landscape, with no cat woman, it stands on its own merit naturally!
Glad you had a chance to take the time to go a-hunting and playing and experimenting.
Fantastic work!
Loving Hugs!~
Ani :)
