Taken at the Light:Bruce Monroe exhibition at Cheekwood in Nashville Tennessee. I used a nearby picknick table to steady my long exposure of 7 seconds. The field was completely dark, with each spoke of the tipis flashing individually in a rapid random order. I used zone focusing because there was no way to acurately focus in the darkness. I used a long exposure to capture the entire scene in one frame. I used a Fujifilm X-Pro1 with a Fujifilm xf 18-55m zoom at 25mm. The exposure was 7 seconds at f/4 and 6400 iso. I used Nik Define to remove noise, then made minor adjustments in Lightroom and then processed with Topaz adjust to bring out some fine detail. I'm glad i spent the time to experiment and find an exposure that worked to capture the whole scene. I especially like how it looks almost as if it is daylight, when in reality I was staring at complete darkness with a bunch of flashing lights.
