A Chevron Gas Station in Eldorado Canyon Ghost Town. Located off Route 165 in Nelson NV. Some late night photography with a mini-maglite under a bright moon. A 3 shot HDR image for more detail in the shadows.
It was a long time since I did any HDR photography. So with this shot, I needed a longer exposure than 30 seconds to get the light painting in because the camera was farther from the subjects. Thus, rather than the traditional exposure blend of 3 various exposures, I did 3 exposures with different parts of the scene light painted. One for the light painting on the ground and pumps. One for the blue lights building, and the last one for the red filter and inside the building.

Haworth Village comes alive when the 1940s comes to the Worth Valley. Tens of thousands of people throng the village, many in ’40s civilian and forces dress.
I could see a delightful garden party about to begin... that or a proud mister taking this to remember the beautiful day and lady.
Alex is a great local model. The Dali museum has a Lee Miller photo exhibit and I taught a workshop about her fashion work. I had 2 set ups with constant light but the huge, tinted windows in the community room provided a fantastic a opportunity - as the sun moved students could see how to use the natural light.
Based on vintage Hacker-Craft/Chris-Craft boats. Any tips on hulls/decking from boat builders is appreciated!
Perhaps the biggest 1940s re-enactment show in the country. |Complete with a temporary airfield for the duration of the show, various aircraft can land and take off, and fly over the showground for air displays. Attending will be thousands of re-enactors from all theatre's of war, allies and axis , living history groups will displaying in adjacent fields . Add that to the hundreds of military vehicles attending .
This is a circa 1943 Dodge “Job-Rated” D-15 GS-1 2-Door, 2-3-Passenger, “4X2”, 3-Ton, Closed Cab, General Service Lorry, in a very corroded shade of “Light Blue”.
This vehicle has been sitting-and-rotting in this same exact spot on the Greek island of Kefalonia for many years. The truck is a RHD export model, and judging from information on the leftover VIN/ID plaques inside the cab, it was built in Windsor, Ontario, Canada - purpose-equipped for military and civilian use in Europe during WWII. The VIN plaque had a very rough, yet just-visible build date of “27-3-43”. This Dodge might’ve seen some action in those final war years, afterwards - much like many other former military vehicles exported here - it would’ve led a long, hard life on the islands of Greece as a privately-owned civilian workhorse.
I did not lift the bonnet/hood, but this truck would’ve likely come from the factory fitted with a 236.6-CID inline-six-cylinder Diesel engine. Having had a good look at the truck close-up in person, this is probably too far-gone for a viable restoration build. There have probably been worse examples since brought back to life, but it’ll be a big brave project for anyone willing to attempt such an endeavour!
There are a few other similar Dodge trucks of this vintage dotted around the island of Kefalonia; I know of at least two examples which are in worse conditions than this one.

About the photograph.
They are re-enactors dressed up in 1940s kind of clothes, and runs what appears to be a 1940s style shop.
Back in those days, shops were not really self-service, and in order to do the shopping, customers would have to tell the staff what they want.
As you can see, most of the food is found on the shelves behind them, which is why staff often have to fetch what you want, then ring up the costs.
They were chatting with visitors whom are interested in learning what shops of this era was like, and apparently someone must’ve said something funny, hence the shop girls having a laugher, and that was when I caught the monment.
I originally thought about turning it into black and white, but figured for the moment, leave it in colour so you, the viewers, could see what the 1940s packaging colours are like.
Notice the box of KitKat chocolates in the lower left corner of the photo, is in blue coloured wrapper.
That was because of milk shortages during the Second World War, so KitKat switched from milk chocolate to dark chocolate, and thus the packaging switched colours to remind customers of the switch in recipe. The red packaging returned in 1947 as they switched back to milk chocolate recipe.
