Rear Window — by Joe Reifer
What a marvelous piece of glass, no? The black Plymouth on the right has a unicorn sitcker. The bright spot in the window is the reflection of the full moon. The interior trunk area of both Plymouths were lit by the moon being at just the right angle — there’s no light painting on this image. I believe this car is a 1964 or 1965 Barracuda.
I love the reflection of the moon in the window. That makes it all worthwhile.
I really like how you keep the glowing horizon visible in shots like this. For me, that’s what makes the mood in the night shot. You can only get streetlights at night, and it keeps that sense of distance between the junkyard and the city way off in the distance.
Erinn – thanks! That’s what caught my eye.
Andy – glad you dig vibe with Ridgecrest off in the distance. My favorite kind of light pollution is the far away from me kind.
