The Red Crown

A rather menacing night encounter between my fisheye lens and the massive International Loadstar 1600 truck, wearing a five-point crown of red...with a shooting star for good measure. I snuck in a quick visit just before Thanksgiving Day, photographing for two nights in a row in the California desert near the Mexican border. And I managed to stay awake for Thanksgiving dinner the following evening, a great success. Although warm and sunny during the day, by the time I packed up, it was below freezing and I had ice on my windshield. I illuminated the scene with a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light painting device during the exposure.
