I have just returned from my 4 days trip at rural Australia. I must admit that this trip hasn't been fruitful to me other than one or two places which I had pushed myself to go to. First two day I was struggling to find a location I could photograph. The place I was staying had a 300 acres of bush land for you to go for a walk or on bike or in a car. I noticed a couple of tress which were kind of isolated, this was one of them. Like usual I scouted the area during the day to visit here at night for photographing purpose. For the first time I used my sb910 Nikon speedlite(outdoor) to highlight the tree while the exposure was on. I was literally running around the tree firing flashes manually while hiding the flash gun with my body so it doesn't ruin the shot for me. This is a one single exposure.
