July Night Photography in Bodie State Historic Park

Stack of 58 images post-processed in StarStaX: gap-filling with “comet” mode turned on to minimize airplane trails

Another Bodie night photography workshop, which we’re conducting in a 3 day/night format this year, so we can have practice nights and at least one classroom and post-processing session before the precious hours of the Bodie access night! Here are some of the first night & evening shots I’ve processed.
