Second Beach Slipping into the Night

So yeah, the fog and rain came in really fast and in the process totally obscured the moon turning the night exceptionally dark. Quite the spooky experience when you are on the wild Pacific Northwest Coast-- exactly the mood I was trying to capture with this image.

Notes: This is a single exposure. Light painting was accomplished with one very high power Cree LED flashlight and two lower power LED headlights. I gelled the white lights with Roscoe gels and my lovely wife assisted with holding the lights. The red flashlight wasn't very helpful in this case so I eliminated it from the final image.
