6. This one was a little weird, and not what it was planned to be (but lemons sometimes equal lemonade)

This was a sky shot, 5-7 seconds, in a series to be combined with a longer (3 minute) foreground shot. But someone in the parking area to the left of the rock inadvertently violated light protocol and stepped on their brake pedal. That illuminated the subject in red light.

I toned down the harsh light on the subject, and totally removed the horrible light from the parking area, and voila!

See my later post tonight of the Temples of the Sun and the Moon.

Sony A7-R5 w/Sigma 17-40 f/1.8 shooting RAW files
1 image shot at between 5-7 secs and ISO 3200, with inadvertent paint-with-light (red) of the rock

Processed with Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, and Topaz (noise reduction and sharpening)
