Ambient light was provided by a parking lot light. Spot light with red gel to highlight the window. Popped my strobe with blue gel filter on the tree branches and leaves. From experimentation, it seems that a 60 second exposure at f5.6, ISO 200 is about right for ambient light created by a street light. - Alvin Tenpo's Photos

Alvin Tenpo > Spark Stoves Barn, Palomares Road, Castro Valley, CA

I've seen this barn on my cycling trips on Palomares Road.
The Spark Stove painting on the barn has always looked so
interesting to me that I thought I'd try shooting it at night.

The moon on this night was 96% full (Waxing Gibbous moon)
illuminating the left side of the barn.

The front of the barn was lit by a street light at the
intersection of Palomares Road and Paloverde Road.

Shot at ~8:45PM. Lit only by moonlight and urban lights
behind the hills.

Front lit by moonlight supplemented with spot light pointed to the ground
to cast a wider light.

Multiple pops of the strobe with blue gel to light the interior.

Alvin Tenpo > Painted the Niles Sign using spot light with a
blue gel filter.

I processed the raw image twice, once for the sign,
then a second time to draw out more exposure to
the background, that created the blue glow around the
sign. Also increased noise.

Then combined the two images, added a layer mask then
painted through the layer mask to expose the sign.
