I'm pretty good at holding back images which I don't want to have copied right away, but I only lasted a few weeks on this one. I'm heading back to Bodie twice next week for Milky Way shooting, so I should have plenty of opportunities to pursue new compositions.

Milky Way over well and Miner's Union Hall
We've added Friday, July 25 to our Bodie workshop schedule to squeeze in one more great Milky Way night before the opportunity passes. Each time we visit Bodie we try to set up a few new compositions as well as perfect the classics. With only 3 hours or so of full darkness in the park before we leave at 1 am, time management is one of the biggest challenges, so we try to be efficient as we go from shot to shot. The Milky Way provides its own unique set of opportunities and challenges, since each month it moves two hours later in its annual cycle. It's highest in June and July (near the Summer solstice), but the days are longer so dark nighttime shooting before 1 am is shorter. The orientation of the Milky Way changes as well, and it moves in compass direction SE to SW. It shows up best on dark nights near the new moon date, so only one, maybe two weekends each month. Next week we'll be there twice, starting July 19 then again July 25, so we'll have similar conditions on the two nights.The new July 25 workshop is already 1/3 full from people asking me to add a 2014 date… would anyone else care to join us? http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/bodie-night-photography-workshops/

Brilliant! Outer space is so interesting! It simply amazes me.
Good question +Michel J, I'm writing a 400 page guidebook to the best landscape photography locations in Southern California. Some people are following my travels and photography, and try to be among the first to show up at the same spots and capture similar compositions.
It's not uncommon for people to follow the travels of their favorite photographers and produce tribute shots, but generally when people follow Ansel Adams or Galen Rowell they credit the original photographer. For some reason, many photographers similarly following in the footsteps of contemporary photographers seem to feel less inclined to credit the photographers who inspired them. Perhaps they hope that their undisclosed copy will become more popular than the original, and they might be (wrongfully) credited with all aspects of the photo, as if they had discovered the location and come up with the concept themselves.
I tend to share fewer of my more interesting compositions on social media these days as a result. I hold some back until they're a year or two old, so there will be a clear separation in time before the copies follow.
+Jeff Sullivan I pray no one will do that.
Great pic Jeff!!
wonderment.
Amazing!
