Awesome Shot. For such a long exposure and with a full moon, did you use any filters?

Thanks, Tom. There is a UV filter over the lens for dealing with dirt/dust in the desert, but that’s it. The color is a product of white balance being set to match the feel of the scene. There’s also just a hint of light painting with a warm, xenon bulb flashlight.
