Wonderful night shot!

@moxy Thanks, Shelley. I'm learning some improved techniques. It was cold and windy up on the hill by the Iwo Jima Memorial tonight. Made it tricky to get a still shot.

[Deborah Ortiz]

Yeah! The result was worth another chilly night at the Iwo Jima Memorial. The detail is amazing, especially knowing how far away you were. Nicely done!

[Jeff]

Looks great. Well done getting all 3 in the frame.

@deborahortiz Thanks, Debbie! I am so glad that the wind didn't create a blur.

@mullejf Thanks, Jeff!

[Taffy]

Brilliant with perfect exposure for the lighting. Wow!

[Khawbecker]

@taffy Thanks, Taffy! And thanks for the Fav!

[Carolyn]

Wow! Awesome shot. Agree with Taffy about the lighting and exposure.

[Chris Stapleton]

Looks fab

A very beautiful night capture with such iconic buildings.

[David Ortiz Jr]

You did it! That is EXACTLY the shot I was trying for that cold night at the Iwo Jima Memorial! Great work Karen!!

[Khawbecker]

@carolyns Thank you, Carolyn!

[Khawbecker]

@cljs Thanks, Chris. :)

[Khawbecker]

@ladymagpie Thank you, Heather. :)

[Khawbecker]

@davydo Thanks, Dave! I wish you and Debbie could have joined me for some tripod photos last night. It wasn't much warmer than the night we were there in January. The key difference was the tripod and a little technique I learned from my brother Dave--the two second delay setting so you're not touching the camera when the shutter activates. Wa la!

[Barrie]

Great stuff. Longed to take this shot like this myself for a while. Nicely composed.
