Picture of the Day - 3/27/09

{Note: you might want to click on each of these images to view the larger version} A second double-header today... The first image was actually taken last night where we stayed at Red Rock State Park, north of Lancaster off California 14. This was a 30-second exposure at f4 and the ISO was set to 1600. I then increased the exposure about a stop in Photoshop. The rock was actually lit by the neighboring campfire. I also tried light-painting with a large flashlight, but it didn't come out nearly as good as the natural firelight. The second image was taken at the sand dunes in Death Valley, where we're staying the night. Taken well after sunset, this was one of the few that didn't have footprints! Shadow/Highlight was used to brighten the foreground slightly in Photoshop in order to create a better balance with the background.
