 Found a somewhat flat patch along the shore to set up the tent. Unfortunately, it was very dark by the time I got the shore and set everything up (hence the noise in the photo). It didn't help that it was also very windy. The goal was to evenly light the tent from the inside.

Thanks for all the great comments. Setup: Mounted camera on tripod. Tripped shutter. Walked into the tent from the back and set off a flash a few times into a white grocery bag to light the tent. Post-processing involved a little of the following: crop, shadow/highlight contrast, levels, curves.

This is spectacular! ...but I came from Planet X and THAT is not Planet X. Looks more like Planet W to the north. ;P

Didn't they provide you with better sleeping arrangements than that? Looks very bumpy. Ha. Very imaginative photo. Love how the light within the tent contrasts the light from the sunset. Good composition.
