Danger!

Light painting at an old mining camp in the Mojave Desert last week.  The sign said that there would be rattlesnakes in here, but somehow I don't think the people who wrote that text know that they'd only be encouraging me to go see!

I captured three exposures at 10, 20 and 30 seconds long, used dodge and burn techniques to control the lighting inside and outside of the building, then combined them using the free StarStaX app.

For a spookier version of this scene check out the one I entered in The Art of Self Portraiture group's March challenge, "Instill a Sense of the Bizarre":
