Backpacking

This past weekend I was invited on a backpacking trip through Roger's Canyon in the Superstition Wilderness. What an amazing location! It's one of the few areas of the Superstitions I'd yet to explore, and I'm eager to do more.

 

This shot was from our second night camped in Angel Basin. I was sitting next to the campfire, enjoying the serenity when I noticed the light from the campfire illuminating this dormant tree (Cottonwood, maybe?). I then noticed Orion peeking over the top and decided I needed to capture it somehow. Although my attempt at capturing the scene with only the light from the fire failed, the four headlamps in my crew more than sufficed for adequate light on my next attempt.

 

This is my second attempt at light painting and I hope the creepy feeling comes through as I intended.
