This 200 x 200 feet hangar was built in 1943 to house and maintain two B-29 Superfortress bombers at a time, one of which (the Enola Gay) went on to drop the first atomic bomb. Light painting the historic Enola Gay Hangar was our backup plan in case of cloudy weather, and on this shoot we were in total control.ĭuring WWII this airfield had over 600 buildings with barracks that housed almost 20,000 servicemen and civilian workers. We tried, but cloudy conditions prevailed. Last week's NightScapeWalk was supposed to include two free photo walks shooting the Milky Way. This hangar is 200 x 200 feet, plus offices on the left and right sides. A night photo of the Enola Gay Hangar at the historic Wendover Airfield, Utah.
