When I first shot Kokerbooms under the Milky Way in Keetmanshoop in Southern Namibia, they were lit up by flood light at the compound in which I was staying. I then travelled far off into the countryside and shot them in pitch blackness.

After we reviewing the shots, I ended up liking some of these lit-up shots. It reminds me of some sort of alien invasion or something like The Day of the Triffids.
