Old work week continues with this one from the abandoned truck stop at Coaldale, NV, shot in August 2006.  My first desert shoot after switching to digital, this trip saw me wandering all over Western Nevada, then a quick guest lecturer stint at one of Lance Keimig’s Bodie workshops, and then my first visit to Aviation Warehouse.  It was a busy and productive 4 days after not shooting much the previous year. Looking back on it, I now credit this particular full moon for the rebirth of my passion for night photography in the digital age.  Canon 20D, about 2 minutes @ f/5.6, full moon, mercury vapor street light and gelled flashlight.
