The lighting of the 2 square kilometers city was achieved through the precise coordination and planning of the 50 photographers whom were strategically placed with two external flashes in both hands.  This popular technique of using external and camera flash to create artistic lighting is referred to as "painting" and it is widely used in the world by many photographers.  In order to achieve the desired result the camera must be set to a slow shutter speed and a small aperture.
