Fire, Family and Friends...

For Thanksgiving my husband and I went camping with his family. It is sort of a Dahlberg family tradition to go up to this little town in the mountains called Idyllwild. There are lots of fun family games and events, but the thing that stands out most to me is the campfire at night. This year as it got colder and darker and we sat around the warm campfire, I began to take note of the light, or what little light there was. It is true there was hardly any light and it was very dark and cool with the colors, but it still created this warm feeling that I associated with family. I pulled my camera out in hopes of trying to portray the mood and the light that evening...

This first shot is the campfire as it was starting to burn lower as it got later:

This second shot is of the sky long after sunset. All you could see was the moon and the way it illuminated the whole sky just enough to see out way to our tents:

These two sources were the only light that we had at our campsite at one point. I thought it was really amazing that even with such little light a strong mood was still created.
