@Night: Santorini

                                                                                    Santorini, Greece
                                                                                June, 2015

While on vacation,  I definitely don't pack up my camera after sunset. Taking night time and early morning photos pose some unique challenges. Due to low light conditions, you have to take long exposure shots. If there are some bright lights in your frame, long exposure will washout the details. Often, you will be the only person standing outside in a cold, dark and unfamiliar location. Given all the challenges, I absolutely enjoy the experience. More than my day time photos, I like my night time photos.

Long exposure is needed to get the buildings exposed correctly. But, the moon gets washed out.

So, I hid the moon behind the tree branches. The constellation Scorpio and Saturn are at the left side.
