I lit the Balance Rock using a 1 million candle power flashlight during a 30-second exposure. This technique, known as light painting, allows for the intricate illumination of the subject, creating a dynamic contrast against the dark background. The powerful beam from the flashlight highlights the rock's unique features, casting shadows and enhancing textures, while the prolonged exposure captures the surrounding environment in a soft, subtle glow. This method not only brings focus to the rock itself but also creates a striking image that showcases the beauty of night photography. The interplay of light and shadow contributes depth and drama, making the final composition both captivating and visually engaging.
