I'm scaling back to three night workshops in Bodie this year: one individual night session and two with special access to interiors the morning after the night session.

Aug 31 – Sunrise & interiors sunrise 6:24 am.The PayPal registration/payment buttons are up on my blog:
http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/bodie-night-photography-workshops/Due to a new requirement for advance payment of a non-refundable deposit of thousands of dollars, I'm offering fewer night workshops at Bodie this year and fewer Bodie workshops overall.
On the positive side, I had one registration for the may 3 workshop while I was building the second and third registration buttons. Get the spaces before they're gone!

+Jeff Sullivan so the best time to get MWay shots is August 30th?, I want the shot with the MWay and my truck ;)

all the pics are fabulous...
For Milky Way +Maximilian Laue I have to give a slight advantage to May. Sure, it'll be rising from 10-11 pm, but for the last 2 hours it'll be streaming across the sky across the top of landscape orientation photos (tilted up to the left). In August the Milky Way starts vertically oriented and slightly west of south, which means it's also already dropping in the sky. The horizon is nice and low to the south in Bodie, but at least part of the brightest part of the Milky Way will be setting by the time we depart at 1 am.
Some people may prefer shooting right down Main Street with the Milky Way vertical. Like I said it's a slight difference and some people may want more portrait orientation opportunities (that works great for a magazine cover for example)
I have screen shots of the Milky Way orientation at twilight and when we leave each night (I do my homework before scheduling these). I'll try to post them somewhere ASAP and share a link.
Dang not sure I will be able to swing May, August is better for me , looking forward to the pics
I just placed screen shots showing Milky Way position on each night at the end of this album +Maximilian Laue. Aug 30 is actually interesting for the moon setting at 10:09, which will be about 9:50 that it drops behind the nearby hills, leaving the sky dark for the rest of the session. We'll have a lot more time for night shooting that far from the long days of June/July around the summer solstice.
Awesome! Gonna look into these Jeff!
Superbe photos :-):-):-):-)jeff merci
I've been to Bodie several times. It is a magic place. Also visit nearby Mono Lake if you go. These places have a unique energy
