20-21 December 2013:
Lisa and 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.

I wasn't very subtle with this because I was experimenting to see what I could do with the LED flashlights and snoots that were stuffed in my backpack. But all in all, they came out pretty well. I would do a little more abandoned vehicle light painting a short while later in Sonoma County after driving past an antique abandoned vehicle, a rather pleasant surprise.

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.

I went a bit too extreme with the green light, but it's a fun shot nonetheless. Next time, I'll probably not paint the tires green so much. :D

For this one, I went really over the top with the light painting, highlighting the red cross and star and tires. I had fun doing this, and I like the demented haunted feel that this photo has.

A long exposure photo with light painting, showing the celestial movement of the heavens at the site where the TV show M*A*S*H was filmed.

Despite thermals and wool socks, I felt cold. Instead of laying on my back and looking at the stars or wandering around, I kept warm part of the time by running back and forth between the abandoned ambulances as the camera clicked away.
