Light Painting Bodie on a Moonlit Night


Light Painting Bodie on a Moonlit Night
We like to offer night photography workshops with a variety of moonlight scenarios.  Our latest October 4 access offered a mostly-full moon which reduces the number of visible stars, but the stronger lighting on the town enables shooting at lower ISO settings and smaller apertures.  In this 30 second exposure I lit the headlights and gas pumps while one of my customers lit the truck bed and rear window.

    I remember my first time exposure at night, I was amazed that the colors were the same as daytime, not sure what I was expecting

    Vince Denny Even the blue sky, which you can start to see the color of with as little as a 25% full moon.

    Very nice work, and yes, it is a bit hard to believe it was taken at night :)

    Cool Jeff Sullivan.  It seems it was taken during the day but with stars.  Great light affects.

    Wow the old gravity fed glass top gas pumps very rare and fetch a good penny in that condition.Do they still serve gas from them?

    Russell Bateman Not from these, but as you drive descending into Kings Canyon in Kings Canyon National Park you can buy gas from (apparently) the oldest gravity-fed pumps still in service.

    Brad Oliver  We're finding a lot of cool places in Nevada as well, so we'll probably expand beyond Bodie in 2015.  Check out Lori Hibbett's photos as well.

    Thanks everyone!  On Sunday morning CBS aired a segment on America's ghost towns.  I embedded their video in a post on my blog: http://activesole.blogspot.com/2014/10/cbs-features-bodie-americas-best-ghost-towns.html

Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video)

Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video) The Orionid Meteor Shower this year was a bit of a dud. I was shooting up at 11,000 feet in the White Mountains and ran my camera for about 4 hours, from 10:40pm Friday until 2:50am, well after the moon came up. To see how a much more active meteor shower looks, here's one of my Perseid Meteor Shower videos from the same location, displayed on the Discover Magazine blog, best viewed full screen: Perseids, Writ Large http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/08/25/perseids-writ-large/ I have a number of posts on my blog www.MyPhotoGuides.com * related to night shooting and timelapse videos. Here's one of the more recent ones building on those pasts posts: Create a Timelapse Video of a Meteor Shower http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/08/create-timelapse-video-of-meteor-shower.html I'm curious to see how an HD 720P video gets displayed on G+.
