Antares Rising, Serpentine Falling
Serpentine Falls lies south of the city of Perth, Western Australia. It is a narrow valley which lets in little ambient light, but my good mate had the idea of using the light on his mobile phone to light the foreground (I usually use a torch). I've never been a fan of light painting - always makes the contrast between the foreground and the sky seem a bit fake.
Anyhow, this is a great little spot with a pool surrounded by rocky valley walls, trees, and a small little water fall that typically always flows (Serpentine Dam upstream usual keeps up a bit of a flow).
This image is a mosaic of 8 panels taken through my Canon 50mm f/1.2 prime lens using a standard Canon EOS6D DSLR. All shots were at ISO3200 for 30sec each. Four were of the foreground that was on a stationary mount, and then the other four were of the sky with my iOptron mount tracking. Stitching of the shots was done using PTGui Pro, and processed in Adobe Photoshop.
