After Dark Photo
Bodie Full Moon v.1
A ton of setup went into this one. I was crawling around in the dirt forever tryign to get the right angle and keep the north star in a position where it appeared the wheel's axis was lined up.
It sort of turned out weird.....it looks like the wheel shot a giant ray gun into the air and the trails are the ray gun impacing the sky.....or not
Foreground and wheel light painted with a mini-mag light.
I uploaded the original version to compare a heavier desaturated version that is uploaded after this shot. This was taken during the August full moon during a 4 day night photography workshop. Permits were included for shooting the ghost town of Bodie at night.
Set up on this shot included a ton of lying in the dirt on the side of my face to line it all up....lol I looked like two face when I got up....
EXIF:
23 frames @ 4 mins each stacked in startrails.exe
Total exposure: 92 minutes or 5520 seconds (whichever sounds more impressive...)
ISO 200
f/5.6
Canon 40d
Sigma 10-20 @ 10mm
