In the late 19th Century these kilns were constructed to make charcoal used in Borax processing. These unique, beautiful kilns are still in great shape.
I spent four hours of shaping light to create this image. I placed a single light in each of the kilns. Moving the light from kiln to kiln until I had finished the work. Afterward, I worked with placing the light at various angles to provide some highlights to the individual shapes. The night sky is a composite of 10+ images using Starry Landscape Stacker to clean up noise.
Being in Death Valley with snow on the ground was a pretty special experience. I'm glad to have had the chance to feel the cold and spend hours under the night sky.
What kind of the light have you used for this one?
I used a variable temperature led that is used for web videos. Viltrox L116T is the make and model. It provides 3300K - 5600K color temperature and variable power 20-100%. This was my first time using this light and I was impressed.
