Forest of Night and Day

8-Exposure, where 3 were shielded from the leftmost light source. This let me capture the middle and rightmost details of the scene, then purposefully darken them in favor of the light streaming through the branches. Two additional long exposures whilst moving the camera forward gave us the streaks of light emitting from the left, seeming to point along the field of view. f1.8-2.4, ISO 400-1200, and shutter speeds between 1/20 and 3 seconds, +2 ND filter on the longer ones.
