Tidewater Region Farmstay

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.

Top Tidewater Region Hotel Reviews

Hilton Vacation Club Greensprings Williamsburg

10/10 Excellent

"We visited during the offseason and had a wonderful stay. The rooms were great, the amenities were excellent, and the atmosphere was very family-friendly and quiet. My son especially loved the mini golf and the pool before he got sick. I really want to give special kudos to the staff. I was traveling solo with my son, and he became ill overnight. We did our best to clean everything up, but it was a stressful situation — including one last incident outside as we were leaving. I let the front desk know what happened when I checked out, and later that day the maintenance manager personally called to make sure we made it home safely and that my little guy was doing okay. That level of care and kindness meant so much to me. We truly appreciated the compassion and professionalism, and we will absolutely be back!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Hampton Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Hampton Convention Center. The staff was consistently friendly and very helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent with plenty of options. Overall a smooth and enjoyable experience — I would definitely stay here again."
