Light Painting Bodie on a Moonlit Night

We like to offer night photography workshops with a variety of moonlight scenarios. Our latest October 4 access offered a mostly-full moon which reduces the number of visible stars, but the stronger lighting on the town enables shooting at lower ISO settings and smaller apertures. In this 30 second exposure I lit the headlights and gas pumps while one of my customers lit the truck bed and rear window.
