JAPANESE BUNKER ("COWTOWN COAST")

Taken April 20, 2012. I had a lantern inside the bunker. This is Photoshopped to the max to get that little bit of glow in the window and between the bunker and the rock to the right. I think I need something much brighter.

  • From April 28. For this one I took some very bright flashlights and had them shining out the window. I was quite surprised that I still had to Photoshop it to the max. Even at that, it seems to me that if one did not know that there is a window there, it would look like there is just a smudge on the right, upper part of the photo. What do you think (please leave a comment)? I think I need to borrow a small generator and take some household light bulbs and reflectors down there. I guess the other choice would be commercial strobes (I tried discharging my electronic flash inside the bunker while my camera's shutter was open, but was very disappointed with the results). I think the inside of the bunker needs to be flooded with light for this to work.<br /> <br /> Also, on this night, as I was ready to start my star trails shots a family came down, started a fire, and started roaming all around with flashlights shining where my shots would have been ruined. I tried to tell them what I was doing and ask them to limit themselves to a certain area, but they did not speak enough English to understand what I was talking about. Oh well: Another one of those challenging photos I have not quite been able to get.......yet.<br /> <br /> I do think the waves turned out pretty cool in this one.

    What about one of those super powerful flashlights shining out toward the water? The star trails are great!
