Condo Reflection

The other night I was out to take some photos of the full moon. They turned out OK. But before I packed up for home, I turned the tripod towards the condos on Nun's Island. The water was lit up like a Christmas tree with all the different color lights coming out of the windows.

I was working with the 55 - 250 mm lens because I had been shooting the moon. I took four shots with different shutter speeds. This was the first at 10 seconds and ƒ16. At 15 seconds and ƒ11 the background sky was way too light. I dialed back up to ƒ16 and still it was a little too light. The 20 second shot was nice but the colors were a bit blurred from the movement of the water. After a crop in Lightroom this is the finished product. As always, click on the photo for a larger view.
