From our Balcony at Night

One aspect I haven't done on 365 is night photos with more than 1/20 sec exposure. Since we spent most of the day in Columbia, SC (3 hours one-way) I didn't get much chance for a photo in the Myrtle Beach area, so I decided to try a night shot and this is the result. Done in manual mode and focus and completely sooc. Best viewed large

Great night shot

That is absolutely gorgeous. Myrtle Beach! I've read books set there and heard about hurricanes that arrive there. This looks serene and beautiful! The blue is just right

The blue pool looks extraordinary....I love the hint of reflection of the palm trees, almost like a glimpse into another world.

@brumbe Thank you Paula, I'm practicing to get some star trails ;)

@hjbenson I hate to say this but our friend Jason probably would be able to tell you the best place to take this. He does know how to take a picture and explain it well.
