eight dead palms. mojave desert, ca. 2014.

these eight dead palms stand alongside the barstow-lucerne valley road, an epitaph to a failed luxury housing subdivision, standing in front of hundreds of acres of graded open desert. backlit by the full moon and frontlit by an intensely bright sodium vapor security light, monochrome processing was the way to go on this image.

 

2min exposure under full moon, 5x 2min stacked exposures for star trails. nikon D7000 + nikkor 10-24mm. processed with photoshop CS6, nik silver efex pro & alienskin exposure.
