I had gone on a hike a short while before in Malibu Creek State Park, and I thought it would be a fun idea to come back here and photograph – to experiment, trying my hand at “light painting” with surreal colors, something I had done very little of before, and certainly not with vehicles, only creating mist with El Wire.
Although warm during the day, it got down to around freezing. I wore thermals and wool sock and cap, but still was a bit cold, so during some of the star trails photos, I ran back and forth to keep warm.
The older ambulance, left at the M*A*S*H filming site after the TV show was over. I stayed up all night taking photos, light painting the M*A*S*H TV show jeeps, finally getting in about 5 am. You know you are getting home late if the morning paper is already delivered!
Usually when I light paint, it’s in a more “naturalistic” manner, often mimicking how moonlight falls on the subject. Not so much this time! The whole process was a lot of fun, and the hours flew by in a flash despite the cold weather!!!!
Despite the close proximity to Los Angeles, the light pollution wasn’t too bad, and I could still see a fair amount of stars in the sky.
