Hilton Hotels, Tidewater Region Hotels | Expedia

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.

Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront

Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, indoor and outdoor pools/hot tub are all heated and open all year round. Front desk, valet and staff service was 10/10. They reached out to us to provide more towels, wash cloths and microwave. Valet was the best with taking care of our car and made sure we did not have to wait more than 1 minute when getting our car. We will be back! "
