On every trip we try a little light painting when it gets dark. I love the Big Dipper and always include at lease one photo of it. This tree was dead but still standing, on the desert not too much is there to cause the dead trees to rot (no water) so they stand long after they die. I hit this one with a beam of light through my fingers to better direct the light just to the tree. I was concerned about the noise in the sky but I think much of it is actually the multitude of stars that are seen in the area. There was still a lot of light from the setting sun and a ranger station to the north. Manual mode shutter speed 30 sec. ISO 400, f4, 10-24 wide angle at 10mm, and was shooting without any filter, not even a UV. LYLE
