Tidewater Region Diamond Resorts Hotels: Tidewater Region Hotel Guide

My first attempt at a serious panorama of the Milky Way, our home galaxy. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse provides an ideal location since it faces the right direction to compose such a panorama while maintaining the balance in the image.

This shot is composed of 6 vertical shots shot at 30 degrees of rotation and merged in Photoshop. Added to the usual difficulties of shooting and composing a panorama at night, this night was crazy hot with nighttime temperature in the mid 80s, no breeze and humidity so high that the lens had to be wiped after every exposure. On top of it, the mosquitoes had a field day running rings around me and no amount of bug spray helped. But in spite of all that, I managed to walk away with an image and experience that does appeal to me.

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and spacious. Staff extremely friendly. Breakfast was great —staff in breakfast area above and beyond. Definitely will stay here again Downside—do not think we should’ve paid to park. That was our only disappointment "
