These are incredible pictures! The way this guy lights and has the patience (1.5 hours for the 1st picture alone) to take these is very creative and artistic!

German photographer Berthold Steinhilber has an awesome technique for lighting expansive locations at night: he tediously paints in the light manually with a powerful 1.8-pound headlamp powered by a 12-volt car battery. Depending on the scale of the location, his large format film exposures last anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, with the aperture set between f/8 and f/16. The above photo took 1.5 hours at f/16.

PDN has an in-depth article that explains Steinhilber’s technique. You can also find more of these amazing photographs over on Steinhilber’s website or by buying one of his books.
