Challenge: Night Shot IV (Basic Editing)
Camera: Panasonic DMC-FZ30
Location: Delray Beach, FL
Date: Apr 6, 2007
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 80
Shutter: 60 sec.
Galleries: Sky, Seascapes

Actually the glow is from Boca Raton, but I think fewer people would know that name, and they might take the translation literally, confusing the situation.

RAW conversion: hue, exposure, sharpen
PP: Shadows/Highlights, Neat Image (reduce noise & sharpen), Hue/Saturation, Curves, resize, smart sharpen, save for web.
_____________________________

BTW, I did use a tripod. The exposure was a full 60 seconds. Anything that appears to be motion blur would be from the movement of the objects (e.g. lights on the horizon) not the camera.

Beautiful image, Julianne. You are giving those Icelanders some competition. Including the beach chairs in the foreground provides an interesting focal point.

Woo hoo! Great job, Julianne! WTG with that 6+ score! If you had taken this with a tripod / and the stars were just a touch sharper, I honestly think you might have had a ribbon contender with this one. Anyway, the composition is lovely here.

Excellent shot - great composition and the exposure is perfect. And I'd have known Boca Raton - my mom lived there for awhile. In fact, there was a place somewhere in Delray Beach we used to go for lunch. Been awhile, though!

The negative space works well, but I would tend toward a slightly tighter crop.
