These images were shot on December 30th and 31st while I was out there by myself vacationing. Most of the images were taken right at dusk, or right at dawn. To capture the low light, I climbed to the top deck of the boat we were on, and set my camera to BULB to control the shutter speed. Most of the low light photos shown here were with a 2-3 second release of the shutter.
