The grounded remains of what I believe is a rare and rusty 1920s Fageol truck cab. Night photo with some fun light painting. I snuck in a quick visit just before Thanksgiving Day, photographing for two nights in a row in that desert of mystery near the border of Mexico. 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 ProtoMachines LED2 light painting device during the exposure while the stars in the heavens curved endlessly overhead. Thanks for looking.
Much of my family has served in the U.S. military, so I suppose I have a soft spot for airplanes and other vehicles. These military vehicles are resting under the night sky in a decommissioned WWII airfield in California, waiting for a night photographer to come along and say hello. One of the other photographers with me kept commenting on how these vehicles made him feel at home, as he drove tanks some years back. Thanks for looking.
I was photographing this at night when someone from one of the RVs approached me, asking what I was doing. Although obviously standing next to a camera on a tripod, I answered politely that I was photographing. He then said many people do this, that he and all the people in the RV have guns, and that they were watching the place and cleaning it up because someone might purchase this and turn it into a glamping spot. He also said I could photograph, so I did so, using a higher ISO so I could get the proper exposure quicker and then get out of there. This is the interior of an abandoned garage in Two Guns, Arizona. I lit the structure from several different angles with a handheld ProtoMachines light painting device during the exposure. This was photographed during a 10-day 2559-mile night photography road trip.
