We just came back from an epic 24 days of camping overland in Namibia with family and friends.
One of our locations was the quiver tree forests near Keetmanshoop.

I hope you like this one - night shooting was limited by the galactic core not being visible this time of year and the moon being up most of the night, we only had a moonless window an hour or so before sunrise.

Techs:
Nikon D3s
Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8 @ 14mm
f2.8 | 25 seconds | ISO-3200

Totally cool. I might try to minimize the distortion a little, by straightening the trees a bit.

Thanks folks!
I am fine with the distortion in these kinds of shots personally...
