Digital wins when it gets dark. This shot was taken hand-held and wide open (aperture 1.4) with a cost effective Nikon 50mm prime. On full frame bodies, it doesn’t negatively effect image quality too much to be at 6400 ISO/ASA. Digital night photography is too easy.
I took this when we lived at a house overlooking the beach. When family visited, we decided it would be fun to have an impromptu beach fire on full moon. The lighthouse added an extra backlight. I like the memories this image brings back. I just wish we did this more often at the beach house while we lived there!
