The tree at dawn

The Enval cemetery, late July, early August. I had spotted this tree while driving by during the day. I came back on my motorbike, set up, and took a few shots.

Those auroras are fake. I placed small LED lights behind the tree, with blue and green binder dividers cut up and taped onto them. The light couldn't hit the tree directly, so it took a lot of tries. Tripod, phone, long exposures, in total darkness, with bushes everywhere behind it: not easy at all. As soon as you turn on a light, the mosquitoes arrive. And then the chill set in, and with it, the mist.

When I saw the result on my phone, I couldn't believe it. I got back on my motorbike, went home, and finished the photo. These aren't northern lights: it's the tree of auroras. Photo by MrDéclenche.
