Steve Paxton / Photos

The Tree, The Moon, The Milky Way and The Rock all in a Hard place.

We went into Grass that was all most as tall as the tripod to try and capture the tree. I chose to hide the moon behind the tree Davids shot had the moon in the Cross of the tree branches. Enjoy some playing with light.

Everything's so evenly exposed, it really blends into one nice image. And the moon behind the tree gives it a little mystery.

Steve Paxton replied to HaarFager:

The hardest part with this type of photography if you dont cheat is getting as even exposure. This was thought out by us both I hid the moon, David had it in the yoke of the two branches. I like this better even when I saw his. thank you for your thoughts.
