Prologue to this shot: Last night I drove up US550 from the I-25 intersection at Bernalillo, NM. I was looking for some dark sky. Moonrise wouldn't be until about 2:30 am. I got almost to Chaco Canyon before I decided that it was just not going to get any darker than that. More on this later. On the way back home, I pulled off the highway about half a mile southeast of Lybrook (maybe milepost 102) and took this. The hills are alive up there at night. I passed many brightly lit areas where work was going on. The oil and gas folks are working around the clock. I think the Navajos must be getting a lot of money from this. Here's how I got this shot: Nikon 24-120 f/4 lens at f/4, tripod mounted. I started at ISO 6400, 30 sec, and decreased exposure by one stop until I got to 1/4,000 sec. At the long exposure end almost everything was way overexposed; at the short end, I got only the flame and brightest lights. In retrospect, I could have used maybe ISO 1600 and gotten a better set to work with. I picked five exposures from this range and ran them through Photomatix using the Exposure Fusion option. Then it was into Photoshop where I merged the sky from one of the brighter exposures with the foreground. It was so bright that I couldn't see any stars, but the camera got a few. The light was impossible, of course. The gas flame probably had a color temperature of under 2,000 Kelvin while the bright light on the right was probably more like 6,000 Kelvin. Anyway, it's fun to see what one can do with impossible shots like this.
