This is a photo of the Grotto of the Virgin Mary on the island of Boracay in the Philippines. This is a 72 second exposure @ f/4 @ ISO100. The moon is the primary light source and the ambient light from restos and bars behind me on the beach are the secondary light source.

Outstanding image..... surreal. Like something from ones imagination #653180Jose F. Magsaysay May 11, 2007
Hi Allen, Thank you very much. This is one area where photography goes beyond what our own senses can do - turn the unseen and ordinary into something that our mind cannot recognize as logical or 'real'. #4270623Carrie Bayless May 11, 2007
