Ken Lee PhotographyHuntington Dreams of Trailers ~~~~~ Night falls at an interesting trainyard full of old vintage trains, locomotives, and yes, trailers as well. To create this night photo, I placed the camera on a tripod. Then I lit the scene with a handheld flashlight while the camera shutter was open for a long time. This is called "light painting." It's more fun than AI-generated images. ~~~~~ For photos, books, workshops and more: www.kenleephotography.com ~~~~~ (Plate 4082) Pentax K-1/15-30mm f/2.8 lens.

Ken Lee PhotographyLubrication ~~~~~ This gas station in Nelson Ghost Town appeared briefly in "3000 Miles to Graceland" with Kevin Costner. Here, it's lit up rather strangely at night. To create this night photo, I set the camera on a tripod. I opened the camera shutter for a long time. While the shutter was open, I walked around with a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light capable of producing different colors, and illuminated the scene. During the exposure, all the light I shined on the subject was cumulative. This process is called "light painting." Why? Because one uses the flashlight as a paint brush, "brushing" on light, not paint. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. And it's more fun than AI-generated images. This was photographed while Tim Little and I were teaching a night photography workshop at Nelson Ghost Town in Nevada and Goffs, CA, along Route 66. ~~~~~ For photos, books, workshops and more: www.kenleephotography.com ~~~~~ (Plate 7733) Nikon D750 DSLR/Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens.
