Abandoned Stamp Mill

It's nice to find a historical site so remote that it's not heavily vandalized, shot full of bullet holes! This was a single 30 second exposure. I lit the outside then ducked under the pipe in the doorway and somehow missed the holes in the floor as I lit the inside red and green.

I used a 3-color LED flashlight offering separate red, green and blue LEDs:

It's available for around $40 on Amazon.com. These are some of the lights I've bought lately: http://astore.amazon.com/jeffsulliphot-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=21

  2. +Barb Snyder This is a new location we were checking for alternative sites for the night photography workshops we lead in Bodie. We never know whether the night photography program at Bodie will continue into the next year, the program there is often not released soon enough to fill workshops in the first couple of months of the summer season, the fees are very high, and after our customers visit Bodie a few times they often want to explore new locations. So we've been scouting alternative sites in California and Nevada. We have growing competition of people who have followed us to lead workshop in Bodie. The scouting trips are costly and we need to recoup those costs; we should let competitors conduct their own research on alternative sites so they don't profit from our investment. For our customers we will have spent many thousands of dollars scouting, so they can hit the highlights without having to make that large of an investment, and we also can help them with lighting, processing optimal seasonal timing, and so on.
