Adam Richmond, Dreamer (SINGLE SHOT 2024)

Shot during the Aurora weekend, I travelled to a nearby location on the Mornington Peninsula in the hope of capturing the colors for a second night, but it wasn't to be. I'd got the composition ready before sunset, making sure I had the tree in focus and everything ready. When a vehicles headlights approaching from the adjacent road lit up the scene. Quickly changing some settings, I ran this 30sec exposure off in the hope the sensor picked up some of the detail. This is the result straight from camera.
