Shadows of P'Jem

I finally returned to my spiritual home for night photography, Joshua Tree National Park. I had not photographed nightscapes in the main part of the Park at night for at least two years. Instead, I had been focusing on photographing abandoned buildings and vehicles and more for my photography books. But not tonight. It was a beautiful March night lit with a half moon. I illuminated the scene with warm white light from a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light painting device during the exposure. I've named this after one of the spiritual places in "Star Trek" lore due to its otherworldly nature as well as the significance of JTNP for me and my night photography explorations. Thanks!
