The always popular NYC MTA subway cars at Paul’s junkyard, where movie props go to die. Just a hint of warm white and red light from the Protomachine flashlight. 4-minute exposure, in a windstorm. The longer versions I was gonna use for long star trail stacking are all blurry from the buffeting.
Red-Rimmed Eyes

Purple light on the pump, white on the cart front and snooted on the [...]
Porcupine of Death
Disassembled North American B-25 in storage at a privately owned WWII air base. Orange and white-set Protomachine flashlight.

Wing spar and raptor skeleton on a sheet of corrugated metal in a field beside a disused WWII airfield. Green, red and purple Protomachine flashlight.
On the Log Run
Moonrise at Paul’s. 391 seconds. Red and white Protomachine flashlight.
Kitchen Witchin’ Hour
About 1 AM in the unlucky kitchen of a destroyed abandoned house. A mile down a lonely dirt road, in the middle of nowhere, in the Mojave. Cool white and salmon Protomachine flashlight during a 2-minute exposure, under the full moon.
Bus Eater
Depth of Field composite, stacked in Photoshop. Two 6-minute exposures focused on infinity and one more focused on the headlight, a foot away. Red, lime and white Protomachine flashlight.
