I was looking at the sunset and saw this heron in the corner of my eye. I am fortunate in that these birds often stay in the same position for a long time.
I was able to change lenses, reduce my ISO settings and properly expose this shot. Then it was back to sunsets.
So last night I was up late like always looking for a new place to shoot when I ran across some photos from this place called Bombay Beach. It's located on the east shore of the Salton Sea at two- hundred and twenty-eight feet below sea-level. It was quite the adventure to get here. I drove a total of 350 miles for about 20 minutes of light. From Huntington Beach to Palm Springs to Bombay Beach, and then to San Diego.. Really, it was to scout for tomorrows full moon. I'm thinking about starting my own seminars, but 1st I need locations. Would any of you be willing to join my seminar?
There's a lot more to the story, just give me a few... I need to eat something...
After getting lost, and missing most of the sunset, I finally found the rocks I was looking for, by this time the moon was rising & it was getting dark. The fog rolled in and the atmosphere changed dramatically, so I went from F11, 10 second exposures to F5.6 @ 30 seconds which still needed more time to expose. I posted this shot because it was the last from the night before I got spooked thinking the Loch Ness monster was going to pop out and eat me. Maybe it was the ghost town I drove through to get here? I just had a creepy feeling the whole time I was shooting. Hopefully tomorrow I get more time to be patient. =)
BTW~ This shot is SOOC besides the border, looking back at it now, it needs a little curve adjustment?
I'm tired now, it's been a loooooong day, Good Night! ~ Mr Moore

I was struck by lighting, campin' down at Bombay Beach
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party, who could ask for more
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door
One of MANY epic lightning shots I captured last night here at Bombay Beach. Spherical art installation in the foreground and my trailer and truck in the background.
Shot with a Canon EOS R and Canon RF 15-35mm lens at 4 sec f/4.0 ISO 500 29mm.
Late in the day, the intensity of light changes. In this case, it gave the shallow water a glasslike appearance. The reflections of these birds presented such a great opportunity to show that effect.
We have visited Bombay Beach on the Salton Sea several times over the past several years. Some art installations endure from year to year. The painted walls of deteriorated buildings are painted and repainted constantly with many painters adding the year in which their work was done, some also add their name.
This building is likely part of the Bombay Beach Biennale which occurs on random dates in the spring. The Biennale was founded in 2015 to provide renegade artistic, musical and philosophical expression outside of commercial galleries and events. It also highlights the ecological crisis of the Salton Sea. While thousands of people attend the party and many contribute art, music and performances of every description, we must have visited during a hiatus as we saw almost no one.
The permanent population of the town of Bombay Beach is around 230. In the 50's and 60's the Salton Sea was a premier destination for water skiing, boating and fishing but as agricultural runoff and increased salinity killed the fish and poisoned the water, the area was largely abandoned leaving many buildings to be repurposed for artistic expression. In recent years, artists and other creative people have returned to the town and thousands attend the Biennale events.
And here is another shot from Bombay Beach on the Salton Sea. This installation is likely part of the Bombay Beach Biennale which occurs on random dates in the spring. The Biennale was founded in 2015 to provide renegade artistic, musical and philosophical expression outside of commercial galleries and events. It also highlights the ecological crisis of the Salton Sea.
