5/5/08 Hot Pic: "Pennsylvania Monument at Gettysburg," by Mike Lynaugh, Richmond, Virginia
Mike writes: "If you have ever been to Gettysburg, you will notice that they do not light the monuments at night. I used a technique called 'Painting with Light' to illuminate the monument with an ordinary $99 flash. In this case, I used a seven-minute exposure with my camera on my tripod, as I walked around the monument firing the flash all over the structure to get the effect I wanted."
