Piece description from the artist
Backcountry camping in Grand Teton National Park. Taken around midnight, this is a 30-second long exposure with a 16mm wide angle lens. At this time of night, mosquitos have disappeared and all you can hear are the chirping crickets and calm breeze. The milky way shows its beauty in this cloudless sky. For this photo experiment, I asked my partner to turn on his headlamp inside the tent for about 5 seconds, then 10 seconds, and finally 15 seconds to see which one allowed the tent to brightly glow, but not become overexposed. 10 seconds seemed to be the magic number for this image.
