A few weeks back, when our neighbors in Noe Valley and Potrero were all atwitter over the weird floodlights that were installed atop Bernalwood, I took a drive up the hill to see what all the fuss was about. But the hill was pitch black when I arrived, so my investigation was thwarted.
Instead, I decided to create a little weird light of my own, using a police-style spotlight mounted to the windshield pillar of my 1999 Jeep.
This nighttime photographic technique is called light painting, and it’s usually done with flashlights and tiny penlights in small spaces. But since I had a big light, I opted to try a big light painting — by illuminating the summit of our favorite hill with a fuel-injected flash bulb.
Beam me up!

Bernalwood 
awesome photo and project!
how would a person (or alien) look in the spotlight way up there??
You probably scared the bejesus out of some teenagers up there trying to get high and enjoy the view!
Nice! How long was the exposure?
All you’re missing is a red interior bulb to backlight your Telstar Logistics stencil!
You read my mind! I actually tried that — the interior lights are already red — but the tinted glass killed the backlighting.
