wednesday afternoon - after finishing an awesome shoot with my friend laura - i packed up my camping gear and boat, and headed for capers island. this was a last minute trip, but it worked out pretty well. the weather was fantastic - and there was a steady 5-10 mph breeze coming off the water to keep the night nice and cool. i paddle against an ebb tide, with the wind in my face, so i had a good work out on the way there. i arrived just before sunset, and ended up running into the only other person out there, who happened to be kayaking in the same time i was. we chatted for a while, but both preferred solitude, so we set up camp fairly far from one another. i set up the hammock, got the fire going and had some canned soup for dinner. i took a hike with my camera down the beach towards the boneyard and nothing seemed strike me as worthy of tripod set up. as i wondered back towards camp, i noticed the silhouettes of the dead trees were very apparent with the ambient light of isle of palms behind them. so i found a good subject and went to work. the images were cool, but nothing seemed to be standing out, so i decided to get the flashlight out and do some painting with light. to the right is the result of my efforts - i am quite pleased, and i will be making a return trip to do some more of this work the next time there is little to no moon in the night sky. enjoy the gallery...
Great light. Good vibes.
