Yes, my Suburban Blend billboard perspective was just a mock-up. I cannot believe the timing on the ball and the background target.
Here is a quick 20-30 second exposure from last night. All I did in post was up the exposure in RAW.

Pura Vida...nice image. Lovely use of lens flare. Where exactly is that? Looks liike a fun place to shoot. Great light and texture.

Thanks. It's one of my favorite local places to shoot. It's located in the mountains of Santa Barbara off Camino Cielo. The "castle" ruins overlook the Santa Ynez Valley. A little history on the site:

"In 1916 a wealthy industrialist from Union Carbide named George Owen
Knapp purchased the homestead as a site for a mountain retreat to
compliment his 100 acre estate in Montecito. George Knapp and his
wife were engaged in numerous charitable pursuits and over the years
donated many thousands of dollars to local religious, educational, and
medical projects. Knapp employed Italian stonemasons to lay down
native cold water sandstone to form the foundations, walls, and
fireplaces of the retreat. The lodge, some four years in the
building, was a massive structure nearly 100 feet long. It was
furnished with all of the conveniences of the age including a pipe
organ. There were some other buildings including a studio, cottage,
staff dormitory, and a superintendent's house. Water was pumped from
several waterfalls near the eastern side of the property to a
reservoir just above the lodge.
In 1940 the property was sold to Frances Holden who invited her good
friend, world famous opera singer Lotte Lehmann, to move in...
...Just five short weeks after moving into the lodge, a raging forest
fire cut through the property destroying all of the buildings. The
massive stone foundations, fireplace pillars, and walls still remain
in ruins as a reminder to this page of Santa Barbara history."
