A Serene Camp
Mystery lies in every squeek, shuffle, rustle and snap. You turn over and listen. Nothing. And the night unfolds.

Location
I took this photo at Blue Mound State Park in WisconsinTime
Late evening; the sun had set, with just a hint of glow.Lighting
This shot wasn't premeditated. I saw the open door to the car and the headlight peaking out from behind the tent - it caught my eye.Equipment
Canon PowerShot S95 - the best camera is the one you have when you see the shot. No tripod, just a steady hand (low shutter speed).Inspiration
I liked the moodiness of the scene, a hint of suspense that I think is there every time you camp. There's something slightly mystical about listening to critters when you tuck into your sleeping bag for the nightEditing
I increased clarity slightly and added a vignette.In my camera bag
I shoot with the Canon SL3 now. The small body allows me to lug it up climbs or deep into the backcountry. For lenses, I bring a 24-105mm most everywhere. When that proves too big, I take a 28mm 1.8 fixed out. I like the shallow depth of field for portraits and bokeh and the 28mm allows a moderately wide angle to capture landscapes as well.Feedback
Be present. You're a photographer, obviously you have an eye for interesting captures. Let yourself actually be there and you'll recognize the shot when it presents itself.
