Great shots!

I'm jealous! I like the lighthouse, it almost looks like you're eclipsing the moon.

Wouaouh ! Fine...how did you equilibrate the sky and constructions ?

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Are you referring to the focus?

Thanks all!

My question was about the light exposure, not the focus...Was the headlight illuminated (as for the wood bridge) ?
20 seconds at 1600 ISO or 3200 ISO seams too much exposure for illuminated structures....it is puzzling.

Amazing I love the lighthouse!

Great! The walkway/jetty/dock gives it such good perspective.

I'm guessing the dock was illuminated by the lighthouse.

Excellent plus!! I really like the first one; looks like one can just walk right into the Milky Way!

Yeah, looks like a "jumping off" spot. Pretty cool photo.

Very nice work

Thanks all. As for the illumination, there was only ambient lighting from some street lamps int the parking lot. No direct lighting.
