Tramway to the Stars

Tramway to the Stars

Tramway to the Stars

Magic Mountain parking lot tram, perched precariously on the pile, in the pit, at Paul’s Junkyard. The red lighting was difficult: I had to climb loosely stacked debris from behind to get the shadows through the glass, and it took an uncomfortable number of tries to get it right. Also purple, from high camera right, and yellow, onto the wheel from below. Once I got the lighting done, I saw that the composition was screaming for long star trails, so I sat back and relaxed while I made a series of stackable exposures totaling 51:26.
