Nocturnal

Milky Way Over Bodie Main Street

Over the course of nearly an hour, 7 separate exposures were lightpainted at various spots outside and inside these historic buildings at Bodie, then one exposure was taken for the Milky Way, then stacked together in Photoshop for this composite image of the Dechambeau Hotel on the left, and the IOOF hall on the right. IOOF stands for Independent Order of Odd Fellows and was used as a gym back in Bodie's hustling wild west goldtown heyday. http://www.optimalfocusphotography.com
