Mike LeeThis old beauty—likely a late 1930s Chrysler—rests quietly in Ranch Park, Susanville, CA. Once part of ranch land, the area is now a public park, and this rusting relic has become a favorite subject of mine.<br> <br> I captured this photo by stacking 15 separate images for the sky to reduce noise and highlight the stars. The car was lit using a handheld flashlight across several frames—an old-school light painting technique. Everything was blended in post to create this final result.<br> <br> It’s always a thrill to blend history and the cosmos in one frame. 🌌🚘<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/LightPainting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LightPainting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NightPhotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NightPhotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AbandonedBeauty?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbandonedBeauty</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MilkyWayMagic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MilkyWayMagic</a>
