Located in a little place called Delhi, Colorado, this one-hundred year old mechanical signal (usually called a 'wig wag') still operates. For how long, noone knows, but the road it guards is lucky to see 3 or 4 cars a day. There's very few of these left, and as I was driving out there and passed it, thought I'd spend a couple hours trying different lighting techniques.

The light on the horizon on the right is Pueblo, and none of the shots with strobes turned out well, so believe it or not, this was a bulb exposure with a flashlight used to 'highlight' the signal and its sign. (The light out behind the signal is the POR Light, part of the signal, not my doing.)

Shot a heck of a while ago (2007, I think?), this was one of my last night shots with my old camera body, the Canon 10D. It was old by then, and the sensor noise was getting quite bad, along with the hot pixels. There's a lot of processing this image, but mostly to get rid of noise and hot pixels. Due to the age of the photo, I no longer have the original image, and the processing on this is very noticeable, unfortunately. As long as you don't get too close to it (or enlarge it, it looks fine. :)
