Bisti WildernessTime
Late at night in the summer.Lighting
Be careful with the steel wool. It is dangerous stuff and this image was captured in the wilderness devoid of any vegetation.Equipment
Canon 5d Mark III with a 14mm f2.8Inspiration
An experiment that turned out really well.Editing
A double exposure at high ISO for the milkyway and one at low ISO for the steel wool.In my camera bag
Tripod, batteries, gps, at least two headlamps and extra batteries for them. Space blanket and water. You never know what will happen and have to be able to take care of yourself in the wilderness.Feedback
Use the steel wool carefully and sparingly. Yes it is amazing but there have been enough landmarks burned down due to this stuff. And it is hot so don't touching it or let it touch you!
