Sleeping Teddies

VIEW ON BLACK PLEASE! This composition may look familiar, I recently posted a sunset shot from this vantage. I decided to go back out after the stars emerged to shoot the very same scene. Wandering through cholla filled landscapes in the dark is not an easy task, even with a headlamp. Often times, the light shining on them will make them appear as stones in the distance. Lucky me however, I can manage my way around some dense cholla cacti in daylight and in the dark. I found my composition, and kept firing off some frames. Venus began rising behind the peaks and gave off some light of it's own during the long exposures. The desert at night is such a surreal place. The howl of coyotes off in the distance made it even more so. This was a blend of multiple exposures to keep detail throughout the frame. via Pcoskun http://500px.com/photo/97715301
