The forbidden hwy.
Spent a couple days in a Ca State Prk. named, Red Rock Cyn. Its a desert environment with Joshua Trees and interesting geological erosion in certain areas. In addition to taking night shots of sky, cliffs & lighting the trees I ventured down to the entrance to the park and hoped I could grab something interesting with the passing traffic. Setup on the S. side of the entrance, I used a 3 stop ND and grabbed some shots over 2 nights. I replaced the sky with another shot of lightning I took in Morro Bay during a very unique/unusual event of lightning in Sept. of ’25.
Post processing notes:
Began with crop/leveling. Dev: color/tone, noise/sharpening, lens correction & transform (don't recall about the transform) Effects: replace color, glow, sunshine & liquify for the distortion parts of guard rail & sign. Sky: replaced with my shot, "bolt over water".Exif information:
