Photography

Col de l'Espigoulier to be precise, same place where I already shot few night pics last year Hope you will like these shots. It's not that easy, actually there is a big proportions that goes straight to the bin and only few where the result is ok. But aft...  

My pick is the first photo (the one beacon of light is a nice touch), but I also like the impact of the second... will this be an annual event?... hope so. What were the shot details on that first photo... camera, lens, exposure? Improving year on year is...
