The pool at night, when nobody’s around… A thirty-second exposure and some lights from the house make this more than bright. Nice colors and reflections. Took this the night after The Florida Lifestyle; it’s the perfect accompaniment.

This is what the pool looks like… at night. Got up at 4 A.M. to shoot this during my vacation; I set the camera on the edge near the pool, dialed in a 30-second exposure, set the timer, and then waited. There were some lights on in the house on the left, which gave nice light. You can see the trees are blurred from the wind, as is the water in the pool. Ready for a swim?
