In June of last summer we decided to try a new camp ground near Springville, CA which is located at the southern entrance to the Giant Sequoia National Forest. This place had some great shade to shield us from the June sun, but the mosquitos were a bit insane. Plus we had a bear walk past the tent the first night. But definitely would go back at some point.
Unfortunately the tree-line was way too thick by the campsite for me to see any stars, so I decided to venture back down near the highway where we entered the campground. Besides the light from the dam near that entrance, there was barely any light pollution. This made for a good opportunity to see what would come up with a 25 second exposure. I wasn't disappointed.
These type of photo docs are a lot of fun. Just traveling around an area with the camera, experiencing it for the first time. This always seems to help me be more creative in how I capture the moments I'm seeing.
