Tony Gillilan Photo Journal
Cook Bank Rhyolite Ghost Town
Saturday March 18, 2023 by Tony Gillilan
I took this 37 minute exposure at about 3 in the morning after sleeping for several hours to allow the moon to dip below the horizon. The bright moon would have really messed up the photo as it traveled across the frame. I fired an off camera strobe several times from different locations to help illuminate the building.
I Dont Do Mornings Coffee Cup

I shot this in my home studio. I bought the cup a long time ago. It describes the younger me. I used to hate mornings. I am older now, and have no problem with mornings.

I pulled off the freeway to take this shot. Some sunrises are so beautiful you just have to stop and take a photo.

I took this early in the morning when the water was calm. I have been to this location many times, and this is the best combination of calm water and clouds that I have taken. This was perfectly stitched from 3 rows of 15 vertical shots taken from a nodal pano head. I planned this shot to be about the same field of view as a 100mm lens on a 6x17 film camera. The file size is about the same as if the aforementioned 6x17 negative was drum scanned. The resulting 300 megapixel file is just under 30k pixels wide and gorgeous to look at. Yes, I could have just shot this on 6x17 film, but I wanted to see if I could create a similar image digitally.
