A couple of nights ago (09-27-20) I went out to the Superstition Mountain Museum to get some photos of the Elvis Chapel with its lights on. Following the recent steeple replacement project, the hi-tech working crew installed a light in the cross and another light behind the stained glass window.

Well, I waited and waited, finally the light behind the stained glass came on so I took some shots of that. Then I waited again, but alas, the lighted cross never did come on. The final shot was dark enough that it took a 30-second shutter exposure time but it was a good workable photo. As I was waiting, I thought, 'wouldn't it be cool if there were lots of stars to create a Star Trail'.

As I was processing the photo, I searched among the millions of Stock Photos and found this one to insert in place of the dark sky (thanks to PTNorbert for the star trails), then I took the cross from one of the earlier photos that had some natural light to it and replaced the dark cross. Ye-Haw, the Elvis Chapel lives again.

Very nice image, Truthfully I liked it better before I read how you created it. At first look, I thought wow what a great photographer. Truly, that was my first impression. THEN after reading how you created it, I thought what a brilliant photographer. This is a very creative example of interpretation of what can be captured.
Thanks for sharing,
Well done.

Thanks Bob, there's always a reason to stop at the Museum and get a couple of shots of the Chapel.

Thanks Ed, not sure if I'm a Great photographer or a Brilliant photographer, but I am a bored photographer and that's the reason for the photo.

A big thanks to all who stopped and looked at my photo and offered kind remarks. Just goes to show what a bit of COVID-19 boredom can do.
