Someone figured out how to make a mask that responds to eye movement! Another amazing start to a cosplay! 

Sunset Rays Over Bodie by Jeff Sullivan (https://ift.tt/1cpZOga) Afternoon thunderstorms create the best conditions in Bodie! This one was a real gully-washer, leaving deep puddles all over town. Fortunately afternoon convection shuts down when the sun sets, and any remaining clouds tend to drift away while they also disperse, so we get perfectly clear skies at night, in spite of a little smoke (that is actually helping the visibility of the sun rays).

I stuck around to shoot in the area on the next night after the workshop, but without rain, there was a lot more smoke in the air. I pulled the plug on the night shoot, and headed home to get some much-needed sleep. With reports of new fires across the West (and record drought in progress and record year-to-date acres already burned), it seems that the 2022 fire season is well underway and set to be a bad one.
