Tink- The pic of the fountain in the courtyard is a unique angle. Thanks for posting.

This is a fantastic night shot! May I ask what camera and settings you used to get this?
Thank you. Though I do shoot with a DSLR, that shot was taken while I was up there on a business conference last March, and I only brought my ultra-compact with me. So the settings are quite simple - Point, Shoot!The camera is a Sony DSC-T100, and to take the shot, I steadied the camera on the rail along the lake, used spot meter to adjust the exposure to the longest shutter speed (no manual modes on these little slimline cameras!), and held still to take the shot.
I boosted the gamma a bit in post processing to brighten the photo just a bit, and ran some noise reduction...then tweaked the colors in Topaz.
