Knapp's Castle, Electrified

Newer Older

This is a great spot in the mountains above Santa Barbara. It was a mansion, built in the nineteen-teens. After it burned down in the 1940 Paradise Canyon fire, the property was opened up to public use (though it remains privately owned).

Note [12/06]: Just got this printed at 10"x15", and I was impressed... this turned out to be one of the sharpest night shots I've taken with the 11-18mm. Sweet!

    Absolutely awesome - I loove the deep color of the sky, and of course the wicked light trails.

    Thanks, J.G. & Victoria!

    @Victoria: the light traces were made by an LED headlamp pointed back at the camera as I walked around the structure.

    Very inspiring indeed. I just have to try something like that. I suppose I'll need a bluish flash light in order to get it look a bit electric.
