The restaurant at Stovepipe Wells opens for dinner at 5:30pm and sunset
was at around 7:15pm.  We had to eat quickly and hit the road.

We didn't know exactly where to shoot, but ended up at Devil's Cornfield.

We placed a Coleman lantern inside the building and lit the foreground
with a spotlight, feathering the edges of the beam.

The moon finally came out from behind the clouds to provide some ambient light,
combined with side light from a Coleman lantern.  Accent lighting on the 
block wall with a red filtered flashlight.

The moon and clouds give this a look of a HDR composite, but it was captured
in a single shot.

Cook Bank Building in Rhyolite, NV.

Ambient moon light, combined with sidelighting from a Coleman latern.
Interior lit with red gel'd strobe.  

Some free transform processing in Photoshop to straighten the building 
lines.

Credit goes to my friend David for help with lighting.
Alvin Tenpo > Spark Stoves Barn, Palomares Road, Castro Valley, CA

I've seen this barn on my cycling trips on Palomares Road.  
The Spark Stove painting on the barn has always looked so 
interesting to me that I thought I'd try shooting it at night.

The moon on this night was 96% full (Waxing Gibbous moon) 
illuminating the left side of the barn.  

The front of the barn was lit by a street light at the 
intersection of Palomares Road and Paloverde Road.
