Mount Rushmore Avenue of Flags South Dakota Night Photography Canvas Wall Art

Mount Rushmore Avenue of Flags after the lighting ceremony once everyone had left. It was a perfect night for pictures of Mount Rushmore. We had been to the monument the previous day and enjoyed walking around and learning about the history of the monument. We really enjoyed the avenue of flags and even took some long exposure test shots during the day with the thought that I would be able to "photoshop" out all the people walking along the avenue. And that is exactly how it looked when I tried it out, like all the people had been removed with the digital processing.
We went back the next night to watch the lighting ceremony, and I had in my mind a couple of images I would like to capture. Prior to the ceremony I set up my tripod and camera and took some long exposure shots of the avenue. The resulting image looked like there were ghosts walking through the picture. Made a great image, and may use it one day, but it was not what I had imagined in my head.
At this point it was time for the ceremony to start, so I figured the image in my mind would just stay there.
We enjoyed the ceremony, and it was very moving and educational. Once it was over we began to move toward the exit along with all the other people that were in attendance. Since the gift store was still open, my wife and others decided to stop in to shop before it closed. I took the time to set up the tripod and camera again and attempt once more to get the shot I wanted. But again, no luck. Each image had people in it, and I had already decided I would not try to remove them with digital processing.
I joined the others in the gift store and waited until everyone was ready to leave. By now it was getting late, and we knew the park would be closing soon.
As we prepared to leave, some of the others stopped to talk for a few minutes so I took the time to walk back to the entrance of the avenue of flags. To my great surprise there was no one out on the avenue! With trembling hands I quickly set up the tripod and camera and began to take my first shot. I was able to get one shot before some people came walking around the corner. Once they moved out of the way I took a couple more for good measure.
Was very thankful to have been able to capture this image, and not have to use Photoshop to remove any people!
