Keith Cuddeback I pay for the required $1M policy for liability insurance, with a specific "additional named insured" certificate specifically indemnifying the California State Parks system, then I pay the Bodie Foundation an additional $3000 or so to bring groups in for 6-7 hours of interior access plus 6-7 hours of after hours and night access. Their fee structure starts at $500 fro night access plus $100/person, $400 for interior access plus $100/person, so including the insurance it could easily cost well over $1000 for a person to arrange their own access, but by bringing in groups, I can get access down to $545 for both interior and night access, and if I have room, I've occasionally offered night only at $325 and interiors only at $245. I've had other pro photographers come in with my workshops multiple times, since it's cheaper than arranging their own access. http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/bodie-night-photography-workshops/
Yikes Jeff Sullivan! It's great that you are arranging access for groups. I'm down for a night access, even on short notice. How do I get on the list? I'm planning to go to Bristlecones next week during the new moon, do you have a group then? I'm flexible.
Keith Cuddeback I'm bringing photographers out to Bodie this Saturday. The standard package I set up includes access to building interiors not generally open to the public from sunrise to noon, then a return at 6 pm after the park closes for sunset and night access until 1 am: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/bodie-night-photography-workshops/ I was thinking about opening up a limited number of spaces for night or interior access only if you'd prefer that.
Jeff Sullivan this month the timing isn't quite right. I can't get away until Tuesday so I'll be going to Bristlecone Pines then. However, I would like to plan to do a night shoot at Bodie in the future when you have space. Cheers!
In Search of a Magazine Cover Photo Back in June I described on my blog a trip I took where I'd focus on vertical day and night landscapes to enter into Outdoor Photographer magazine's Cover Photo contest: http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/06/in-search-of-magazine-cover-photo.html Well, my new shots from that trip didn't win, but a star trails shot from a couple of weeks earlier in Yosemite National Park did! I hear it'll be the November cover, which should hit newsstands in a few shot weeks. I should have a cover mock-up to show you shortly. It's going to be Outdoor Photographer's best issue EVER! No, I don't know what will be inside yet, but the cover will rock, so they'd better make the rest good! I wonder if they'd consider not putting that big yellow title over my stars... Update 9/12 : Outdoor Photographer magazine has posted a copy of the October issue with an article on star trail photography: http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/how-to/sh...
“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.” - Norman Maclean, "A River Runs Through It" #plusphotoextract
Sunset in Bandon on the Oregon Coast Sunset in Bandon, Oregon last month, early in my "victory lap" circling the Western U.S., celebrating the release of my California Landscape Photography guidebook!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot Jeff Sullivan. When I was there they closed before sunset. How do you arrange to be there at night?
