Bodie ghost town
The moon was low on the the horizon and providing just enough light to illuminate the landscape without washing out the night sky.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.
For those that would like to shoot at Bodie, be patient with all the people walking through your shot. At night, it is chaos with all the stray light from flashlight and car lights.
Bodie offers the "Ghost Walk" a couple times a year and the park stays open until 10 pm. That is when I go there to shoot. The time window for shooting the night sky is very narrow before the park closes- maybe 30 minutes.
Go to the park to shoot all day and plan you night shoot location then.
Thumbnails as an example of the light chaos.

Hi Kieth.
I really like the main shot you have of Bodie and the Milky Way.
With the thumbnails, is the bright red one someone light painting with a red light source, or just reflecting some super bright brake and tail lights from a car?
Although most of the light is a nuisance especially for getting the night sky, a couple of those look like they have given a reasonable result!
Cheers, Graham.

Milky Way and the Trees by Tony, on Flickrsomething different to what i normally do, a composite with MW and foreground taken couple nights apart and with different focal lengths (but from the same Western Australia road trip that i was just on), mainly because i loved the dead trees in the salt lake when we went through it in WA but was bummed that i wasn't able to get a good MW attempt due to timing/bad weather (and not sure if i'll get to visit WA again anytime soon :'( ), so decided to have a little fun and get (pretend) a little artsy

I love it! This is probably what it looks closer to the core.
