Fantasmas en las sombras
I spent a number of nights this spring at this unique area of Arizona, which seems to be increasingly popular (at least compared to my first visit here, just a bit over two years ago). One one night (a clear night after a long string of cloudy nights with generally poor conditions) about 45 photographers were camped out in the parking lot. 45!
As you can imagine, the shooting conditions that night were challenging, with photographers of all experience levels wandering a relatively small area with all manner of flashlights, spotlights, and LED panels. I personally was forced from several areas as bright lights meandered their way in the dark toward me, and I slinked away to find another composition. The photo's title is partly an allusion to the other folks (like me) who were playing a strange game of hide-and-seek that night, setting up their gear in the dark and hoping that the bright-flashlight folks would give them a solid 5 minutes of respite from their bright beams.
This is a 2-row panorama of 4 photos per row, all taken back to back (no blending or compositing funny business, as is this case with all of my panoramas).
