The layers of adventure and being one with nature and the universe is what we like in this image. It could be a campfire by the mountains under the stars. A fairytale in one photo, and you make the rest of the story.

This shot was taken at the Whitney Portal Campground in California. It was late and I was little nervous because we saw a bear earlier in the day. The family went to sleep in our camper, the camp fire was extinguished and I felt inspired to try some long exposures. I grabbed my Fuji X-T1 a Zeiss 12 mm f/2.8 super wide and mounted it on a Manfrotto tripod. The 30 second exposure was interrupted by a passing car, I almost stopped the shot because I thought it would be ruined by the lights. I’m glad I didn’t because the lights from the car gave the image something I wouldn't have been able to get without them. I’m very honored to be awarded ‘Mark Of Excellence’ by the I Shot It team. I look forward to entering more challenges on the I shot it site.
