Spaceship Earth, reflected

I was waiting for our dinner reservations at Via Napoli (a phenomenal place to eat, by the way) when I looked across the Lagoon and realized I had no long exposure shots of Spaceship Earth. So I took some nice, closely cropped shots before I realized a lot of people had shots like that, but not so many people had shots with the Christmas tree in them. So I put my camera on bulb mode, bolted on a few ND filters, and starting taking shots. Then I realized it might be cool to break out my seldom-used but always loved starburst filter. And that's how I got the picture I did today. Extreme long exposures are really fun, except when it's so cold out! Subtle adjustments to your settings are tough when you're wearing gloves, haha!
