This is an image that I captured in late May in the authentic Wild West ghost town of Bodie, California. Using a brighter white LED light paints the Standard Mill with a more cool, blue-toned light resulting in a bluish-gray tone to the buildings, and the brighter light on the buildings helps them stand out while making the sky seem darker. The brighter light however was harder to control, as it required just a quick "flash-and-pan" motion to quickly and evenly light the structures without blowing out the night sky exposure.
We have room in our July 25 and October 4 night photography workshops at Bodie if you want to come play with lights and cameras in an authentic 1880s mining town!
