With the camera on a tripod, you have someone carrying a flashlight walk a zigzag pattern from far to near. If all goes well, the exposure will be long enough to capture a good range of movement and enough ambient light to showcase the environment. The person walking doesn’t really show up, since they’re moving too quickly to produce an identifiable image. I like the symmetrical arrangement of the trees, which are counterbalanced by the diagonals of the light. The asymmetrical arrangement of the light lines keeps the composition from being too centered and too balanced.
