This last Friday night The Night Lights Photo Group headed up to Marin for a night shoot at Big Rock Trail off Lucas Valley Road.
Denise had found this great place on a day hike and invited
us all out for a night shoot. I was happy to have
TJ to join us again, as he was a boyscout (you know in case we got lost or needed someone to fashion a tourniquet?) and he is a great assistant. The moon wasn't quite full yet and it was very dark. I was struggling to find something "me", when as we were coming down the trail these headlights turned a climbing corner and glowed upward and I thought OK, this is good. With more vapor in the air the effect would be more pronounced which is a compositional effect that I have been exploring lately (like
this and
this).
