Black Rock city is amazing by day but even more amazing by night.
In particular this is true because of course there is no electrical grid,
and all the light and power has to be brought in. Some people are
efficient and use batteries and even solar, others bring in noisy generators,
and there is a power grid around center camp.
I went out one night with a tripod and the new D60 which is able to do night
photography, even at ISO 200, and shot a few shots of interesting camps, cars
and people. There are other night shots in the Fire section and other
sections.
Some night panoramas are also forthcoming.
