Photo Friday: Through the Night

Through the Night
Through the Night

During my last trip to Niobrara State Park I spent two nights photographing the stars. On the first night I setup on the footbridge near the confluence of the Niobrara and Missouri River. It was completely dark as there was no moon, a perfect night to capture the stars and do some light painting. When the shutter was open I carefully used my flashlight on the steel beams and across the deserted bridge. When the shutter was off all I could see was the stars and the lights of Niobrara in the distance. The only sound was the slushing of the water beneath the bridge. That was until I was startled by the rustling of bushes behind me! I turned around with my flashlight and saw nothing and decided I was quite done. I packed up and hurried back up the trail to my warm cabin.
